TULSA, Okla. — The nation's highest court is hearing the case of a school poised to be the nation’s first tax-payer funded state-sponsored religious public charter school.
In October 2023, the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board gave the greenlight for the nation’s first publicly-funded religious charter school, Saint Isidore of Seville Virtual Catholic Charter School.
The same month, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond filed a lawsuit against the board to try and stop it from being funded by the state. The state Supreme Court found the school unconstitutional.
