Summary:

A continuing element of the ongoing debate over public aid to education concerns the constitutionality of education vouchers under the establishment of religion clause of the First Amendment. This report sketches the constitutional standards that apply to public aid to sectarian schools and especially to programs of indirect assistance such as education vouchers. It also summarizes recent significant state court decisions involving vouchers.
