NC Supreme Court Denies Emergency Fund Release For Opportunity Scholarships
Legislative leaders asked the NC Supreme Court for an emergency release of funds for the Opportunity Scholarships while the decision of Judge Hobgood is being appealed.
The News and Observer piece doesn’t make mention of the legal representation for the parents who has also filed an emergency motion. Representation for the parents in the suit also filed with the NC Supreme Court. I haven’t seen where this motion has been ruled on yet. It asks for the funds for those children already accepted to be released so they are not in academic limbo.

“Our attorneys believe that this is a constitutional issue that must be decided by the appellate courts,” Talley said in a statement shortly after the ruling. – News and Observer
Wait…For once in recent memory, Cooper is actually doing his job? So, what gives? Either he clearly sees this Judge is correct in his ruling or Cooper thinks this is a way to extend the BlueprintNC style slamming of Republicans on Education. Probably the latter if you that a closer look at the pushback. I’ve said this multiple times before, this is about protectionism of a system and not concern for these kids.
