BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Judge Tim
Kelly has set Oct. 15 as the trial date for a school voucher lawsuit.
A lawsuit
filed by the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, Louisiana Association of
Educators and the Louisiana School Board Association seeks to declare the voucher
program unconstitutional.
The
statewide voucher program will use tax dollars to allow kids to go to private
and parochial schools.
Just last
week, the same three groups lost a lawsuit to block the adoption of the voucher
plan.
The state
argued the judge did not have the jurisdiction to do that and Kelly agreed.
As of now,
the first vouchers are scheduled to go out around the first week in August.
