In a suit brought by Vermont students who were denied “Town Tuition Program” funding because of the religious status of their chosen school, the Second Circuit ruled that, while their case is being resolved, the students are entitled to the funding to the same extent as those who choose to attend secular schools. The program pays tuition to independent schools for students who live in districts that do not operate public high schools.
