Douglas County school choice rebuked by judge ruling
Douglas County faces a court ruling over its school choice program that provides scholarship funds for parents to send children to religious or secular schools. The judge cited Colorado's no compelled support clause, while supporters note federal rulings upholding neutral choice programs and the county's high median income and low poverty rate. The dispute centers on whether public funds may flow to religious schools.
