Two national groups that advocate for private school choice have filed a motion to intervene in a recent lawsuit challenging House Bill 93, Idaho’s newly enacted tax credit covering private school tuition.
This month, a coalition that includes the Idaho Education Association and Moscow School District asked the Idaho Supreme Court to declare the tax credit unconstitutional.
Attorneys assigned to the case have “unavoidable time conflicts,” including from other cases before the Idaho Supreme Court.
EdChoice is an Indianapolis-based, nonprofit advocacy group founded in 1996 by economist Milton Friedman — widely considered the pioneer of the modern private school choice movement.
“A judgment taking away the program would impose a real financial burden on our family,” the parents said in a declaration to the Idaho Supreme Court.
