OH: Church asks Supreme Court for OK to sponsor charter school

The Columbus Dispatch: “Brookwood Presbyterian Church runs an educational program for 64 students with autism and other special needs, but as a church, it is disqualified from sponsoring charter schools, the Ohio Department of Education says . . . The case is fraught with church-state implications. The church says it should be treated like any other prospective sponsor of charter schools in Ohio. The state says a church is not an “education-oriented entity” as required to sponsor a charter school in the state.”
