The Nevada Supreme Court has agreed to expedite hearing the appeal of the injunction blocking release of school voucher money.
Carson City District Judge James Wilson issued a preliminary injunction in the case agreeing with lawyers for parents challenging the Educational Savings Accounts law that, if he allowed the Treasurer’s office to release the money before a decision on the constitutionality of the case, “irreparable harm will result.” Opponents of the voucher program said once that money is released, the state could never get it back if the law is deemed unconstitutional.
Both sides in the case agreed to an expedited briefing/hearing schedule. The high court agreed on Friday to cut the normal briefing time in half. Everything must be filed within 51 days.
Treasurer Dan Schwartz, whose office manages the program, said supporters of the ESA strongly disagree with the injunction. He described the ESA program as “a first step in reforming our education system by shifting decision-making responsibility for our children from school officials to parents.”
