‘A Day to Exhale’: Supreme Court Deadlocks on Religious Charter Schools — For Now
The 74 online
2025-05-22
The administration, as part of its school choice agenda, has heavily promoted charter schools since January by removing Biden-era regulations and increasing funding. But some experts say states might tweak charter school laws to clarify that charters are public despite being operated by private organizations.
“The fact that it was as close as it was is a signal. This is a chance to make some changes because it’s going to come up again,” said Preston Green, an education and law professor at the University of Connecticut. He has recommended that states amend laws to clarify that board members for charter schools are public officials.

That school and other classical academies, along with the North Carolina Coalition for Charter Schools, has filed its own friend-of-the-court brief arguing that if charter schools are found to be government entities, that would expose them to lawsuits and regulations, “sanding off the edges of cultural and pedagogical difference until the schools are virtually indistinguishable from their public-school counterparts.”
“Charter schools have wanted to have it both ways, where they were public for matters that they like, like funding, and private for things that they may not like, for instance, teacher rights,” said Preston Green, a professor of education at the University of Connecticut who has written extensively about charter schools.

Such a ruling, he said, could affect all 46 states with charter school laws. But ripple effects could stretch beyond the classroom.
“The implications for education and society could be profound,” said Preston Green, a University of Connecticut education professor. “It would mean that the government cannot exclude religious groups from any public benefits program.”

Supreme Court to Hear Oklahoma Religious Charter School Case
The New York Times print
2025-01-24
For decades, the hybrid nature of charter schools — sharing features of both public schools and private institutions — has made it difficult for courts to determine how different education issues should apply to them, according to Preston Green, a professor at the University of Connecticut who studies educational law.
Still, Mr. Green said he believes St. Isidore’s argument “could be very attractive” to the conservative justices — and that if the court ultimately sides with the charter school, “the implications are potentially huge.”
A Potential Solution To Charter School Religious First Amendment Problems
Forbes online
2025-01-03
s a charter school a state actor or not? If a charter school is a state actor, meaning that it is an arm of the government, then it must abide by the government’s rules, including First Amendment prohibition on religious instruction. If it is not a government actor, but a private business, then the charter school exists in a Constitution-free zone where it may set its own rules, including those that adhere to or promote a certain religion.
In a new article in the Drake Law Review, Preston Green (University of Connecticut) and Suzanne Eckes (University of Wisconsin-Madison) explain the nature of the problem and propose a solution.

School districts have become easy and popular targets because many don’t have top of the line systems and enough IT expertise despite their large budgets, said Preston Green III, a professor of urban education, educational leadership and law at the University of Connecticut.
“Cybersecurity people have said that school districts are low hanging fruit,” Green said. “They have archaic systems … and they don’t update them and they have money. William ‘The Actor’ Sutton was asked why he robs banks. ‘Because that’s where the money is.’”

But if Republicans take control of Congress and the White House in November, the Department of Education could disappear under a proposal outlined in the conservative policy blueprint called Project 2025. Vanishing a federal agency would require a battle in Congress and perhaps even the courts. But if the plan succeeded, its impact on vulnerable students and families who rely on funding and civil rights protections from the agency would be stark and obvious.
“It’s just [about] the enforcement of laws, protecting students of color,” said Preston Green, a professor of law and educational leadership at the University of Connecticut and a national expert in school vouchers and school desegregation. “For instance, if there is this sort of disparate impact on students of color, the federal government could become involved. Without that department, you would be removing that level of oversight and protection.”

To address these seemingly intractable disparities, Bellwether estimates that states would need to increase allocations to poorer districts in areas with gaps by more than 20% on average. But such vast funding hikes aren’t realistic, Spurrier said. Instead, he and his colleagues propose limits on how much districts can pull from local tax revenue or policies that allow the revenue to be spread more evenly across a metro area. Another solution could be consolidating districts.
“School district lines are an arbitrary thing,” said Preston Green, a professor of educational leadership and law at the University of Connecticut who studies school funding and segregation. “Other than the politics, there’s nothing that prevents us from redrawing school district lines.”

Preston Green, a University of Connecticut education and law professor, called McGinley’s argument a “brilliant framing” that helps the school’s case. He added that if the question eventually reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, he could see the conservative justices siding with the Catholic church.
“It just wouldn’t surprise me,” he said. But he added that the Oklahoma charter case is about more than just religion. It’s also about public education funding. “There’s no real consideration about the impact on the public school system. This could really create some fiscal strain.”

Preston Green, a professor of education at the University of Connecticut who has written extensively about legal and political issues around charter schools, sees a connection between those efforts and those of charter school advocates.
“For a lot of these states, it is a real push towards the funding of private education by any means necessary, be it charter schools, or vouchers, or both,” Green said. “Charter schools, because of their murkiness, they can be used in a variety of ways.”

Preston Green, a professor of educational leadership and law at the University of Connecticut, said schools can punish students for speech that disrupts the school’s learning environment or for conduct that occurs on school grounds. But he said suspending kids for following certain Instagram accounts would likely violate their First Amendment rights.
“Mere ‘following’ can’t be sufficient,” he said. “That’s going too far.”

Preston Green, a University of Connecticut education professor who has studied the school choice movement, believes that Hillsdale may be laying the groundwork to deliver Christian education through publicly funded schools. He pointed to the example of a Catholic school in Oklahoma, which if it opens as planned in 2024 will become the nation’s first religiously affiliated charter school. Green says he expects the Supreme Court to take on the issue of religious charter schools in the near future. “Hillsdale has the infrastructure and the mechanism for delivering religious charters if and when the Supreme Court gives the go-ahead.”

The Supreme Court’s denial was a significant win for those who have long held that charter schools are, by their very nature, public institutions. But the debate over whether privately run charter schools can forgo constitutional protections, often in the name of innovation, is far from settled.
“The Supreme Court kicked the can down the road,” said Preston Green, a professor of education and law at the University of Connecticut. “Stay tuned. More to come.”

If it opens as planned, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School would offer students an explicitly religious curriculum based on the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The move sets the stage for a lengthy legal battle that could well reach the U.S. Supreme Court. The ensuing debate could also splinter the charter school movement. And the result could ultimately lead to the growth of religious charter schools around the country.
“Politicians in Oklahoma and some of these other states want this. They see the Supreme Court moving in that direction,” said Preston Green, an education and law professor at the University of Connecticut who has long written about the possibility of religious charter schools. “It has major implications nationwide."

Schools Are Confronting Centuries of Racial Injustice. Will They Offer Reparations?
Education Week online
2023-04-11
Preston Green, a professor of educational leadership and law at the University of Connecticut, sees the fight for reparations as a long-term effort to shine a light on persistent racial disparities.
In 2021, he and two fellow education scholars, Bruce Baker and Joseph Oluwole, published a playbook for how reparations around K-12 schooling could work. The first step, they argue, would be to undo current school funding policies that exacerbate racial disparities, including state aid that doesn’t sufficiently compensate for low property tax revenue in historically under-resourced Black communities, and funding formulas that fail to target additional aid to students who would most benefit from it.
Virginia Republicans tout school choice bill; Democrats call it a nonstarter

Preston Green, a professor of Education at the University of Connecticut, who is from Virginia and went to UVA and has studied voucher programs extensively, says funding is only part of the problem with this bill.
“When you look very closely at the laws and protections for students from marginalized backgrounds, for instance, many of them leave a lot to be desired. I’m very concerned about the issues they pose for under resourced school districts,” Green said.
Green says the legislation harms students with disabilities because only private schools that receive federal funding are required to follow section 504 and religious schools are not required at all. It’s a law that protects students with disabilities, ensuring schools provide them with appropriate accommodations.

Over 6,000 state legislative seats in 46 states are up for election this year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A number of states have led the charge in passing bills limiting how schools can approach race, gender identity, and sexuality in the classroom. Seventeen states have passed laws aimed at preventing teachers from discussing what they call divisive concepts like race, gender, and sexuality.
Nearly a third of teachers who have chosen not to address those topics in the classroom worry about professional or legal consequences, according to an EdWeek Research Center survey of teachers.
“Things that public schools focus on, in terms of teaching students about various issues and making sure students are protected, all of those hallmarks of public education are being attacked,” said Preston Green, an education leadership and law professor at the University of Connecticut. “Depending on how the Republicans do, you may see more of it.”

But as the first Black woman on the court, Jackson would likely be more attuned to issues of race and gender as reflected in school dress codes or restrictions on Black hairstyles like braids, and she might see “discrimination that maybe another justice might not,” said Preston Green, an education professor at the University of Connecticut.
Jackson would join the court at a time when conservative justices have signaled they’re open to rolling back abortion rights and have already moved in the direction of more religious freedom.
“This court is really undoing a lot of decisions that people have thought were off the table,” Green said.

In June, the 2nd Circuit ruled that students in Vermont can use public funds at religious schools. So far the state hasn’t appealed the ruling, perhaps waiting for the Supreme Court to weigh in on Carson. And maybe in anticipation of the justices siding with the plaintiffs, Gov. Chris Sununu in neighboring New Hampshire signed legislation in July removing the restriction on religious schools in that state’s tuitioning program.
A decision for the plaintiffs could prompt some states to get out of the voucher business if they can’t place restrictions on curriculum, noted Preston Green, an education professor at the University of Connecticut.

The Biden Department of Education hasn’t indicated whether it plans to once again ban religiously affiliated charters from participating in the program. Such a prohibition would almost certainly be challenged in court as discriminatory by advocates who have a growing list of legal rulings on their side.
“It’s not a question of if, but when,” said Preston Green, an education and law professor at the University of Connecticut, who first began writing about the possibility of religious charter schools back in 2001. “For religious entities, access to public revenue is tremendously appealing, and now you have the courts basically saying to states, ‘You can’t prevent this.’”

Split Supreme Court blocks Oklahoma’s Catholic charter school − but future cases could hinge on whether charters are, at their core, public or private
The ConversationPreston Green III and Suzanne Eckes
2025-05-23
In April 2025, the Supreme Court heard arguments about whether the nation’s first religious charter school could open in Oklahoma. The St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School would have been funded by taxpayer money but run by a local archdiocese and diocese. Several justices appeared open to the idea during questioning, leading some analysts to predict a win for the school.
They were proved wrong on May 22, 2025, when the court blocked St. Isidore. The one-sentence, unsigned order did not indicate how individual justices had voted, nor why, simply declaring it was a split 4-4 decision that leaves in place the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s ruling against the school. Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself from the case. Her former employer, the University of Notre Dame, runs a law clinic representing the school’s supporters.
What is a charter school, really? Supreme Court ruling on whether Catholic charter is constitutional will hinge on whether they’re public or private

In April 2025, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about whether the nation’s first religious charter school can open in Oklahoma. The St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School would be funded by taxpayer money but run by a local archdiocese and diocese.
The case is often discussed in terms of religion, and a decision in the school’s favor could allow government dollars to directly fund faith-based charter schools nationwide. In part, the justices must decide whether the First Amendment’s prohibition on government establishing religion applies to charter schools. But the answer to that question is part of an even bigger issue: Are charters really public in the first place?
Beware of Educational Blackmail: How Can We Apply Lessons from Environmental Justice to Urban Charter School Growth?
South Carolina Law ReviewPreston Green and Chelsea Connery
2022-04-29
This Article explains how environmental justice principles can be used in litigation and legislation to enable minority families in urban communities to benefit from charter schools while at the same time protecting against the dangers posed to their school systems and children. In Part II, we explain how environmental justice concepts are designed to protect against environmental blackmail, which is the promise of economic benefits made by polluting companies in exchange for extreme risks to the health of workers and communities where toxic sites are located. In Part III, we describe how a similar form of blackmail may be occurring in urban charter schools—a phenomenon we have coined “educational blackmail.” In Part IV, we analyze environmental justice litigation and charter school litigation. We also assess the extent to which plaintiffs can use environmental justice concepts to address the expansion of urban charter schools. Finally, we examine environmental justice laws to determine how urban school districts and students can utilize the charter school statutes and regulations to better protect themselves against harm.
How reparations can be paid through school finance reform
The ConversationPreston Green and Bruce Baker
2021-09-16
White public schools have always gotten more money than Black public schools. These funding disparities go back to the so-called “separate but equal” era – which was enshrined into the nation’s laws by the Supreme Court’s 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson.
The disparities have persisted even after Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision that ordered the desegregation of America’s public schools.
