The Buckeye Institute Joins Brief in South Carolina School Choice Case

The Buckeye Institute joined with Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) in filing an amicus brief in Eidson v. South Carolina Department of Education, calling on the South Carolina Supreme Court to allow the implementation of the state’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund program. In their brief, Buckeye and WILL note that, as early innovators of school choice efforts, Ohio’s and Wisconsin’s experiences demonstrate that “voters and legislators value giving parents the ability to choose the educational environment that best fits the needs of their children.”
