Supreme Court to Hear Charter School Case Today

WASHINGTON D.C.— – The case of Oklahoma State Charter School Board v. Drummond / St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Drummond will be heard Wednesday before the U.S. Supreme Court.

At issue is the constitutionality of the government establishing a religious public charter school in Oklahoma. State Attorney General Gentner Drummond has argued that the proposal violates the Oklahoma and U.S. Constitutions, a position affirmed last year by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.

Gregory Garre, former U.S. solicitor general under George W. Bush, will argue before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the Attorney General’s Office.

Oral arguments in Oklahoma State Charter School Board v Drummond/ St. Isadore of Seville Catholic School v Drummond will be heard beginning at 9 a.m. Central Time, 10 a.m. Eastern on April 30 at the court in Washington, D.C.
