clip Last
September, the Union and Jenks school districts countersued the parents
of six special-needs children to challenge the constitutionality of
law. They said it violated the state constitution's prohibition against
sending public dollars to private, sectarian institutions.
........
But
Jerry Richardson, the school districts' attorney, noted that of the 40
private schools approved to participate in the scholarship program, only
two were not affiliated with a church or religion.

Nightingale ruled that the school districts' had legal standing -
meaning they were able to show they were harmed by the law - to
initiate the lawsuit.
