An Ohio appeals court has struck down the state’s K-12 voucher program, ruling it violates the constitutional separation of church and state. The decision comes after legal challenges argued that the program’s funding of private and religious schools undermined the state’s obligation to support only public education. Supporters of the program had previously defended it as a tool for expanding educational choice, while critics warned of potential misuse of public funds. The ruling now sets the stage for further legal battles as the state considers its next steps.
