Concluded Cases

SCWA V. BOWERSOX

WILL filed an original action petition to the Wisconsin Supreme Court urging the Court to accept a legal challenge to the City of Racine’s school closure order.

WCRIS V. HEINRICH

WILL filed an original action to the Wisconsin Supreme Court asking for a review of the Dane County health department’s order closing all schools, public and private, for grades 3-12.

HERITAGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS V. DPI

WILL sued the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) on behalf of a West Allis family, Heritage Christian Schools, and School Choice Wisconsin Action (SCWA), after the department adopted an illegal policy to block a family from enrolling in the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP) – the statewide voucher program.

ESPINOZA V. MONTANA DOR

The Montana Supreme Court struck down a popular scholarship tax credit program for violating its state constitution’s prohibition on providing any public funds, directly or indirectly, to religious institutions (private schools in this case). We filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and rule that such “Blaine Amendments” in state constitutions are unconstitutional because they discrimination against religion.

SCHOOL CHOICE WISCONSIN ACTION V. DPI

WILL sued State Superintendent of Public Instruction Carolyn Stanford Taylor and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for their unfair, illegal treatment of private schools in Wisconsin’s choice programs. DPI denied private choice schools the opportunity to fully utilize online, virtual learning as part of classroom instruction.

SAINT JOAN ANTIDA V. MPS

The Milwaukee Public School District refuses to transport children to private schools as it is required to do by state law. WILL sued to force the district to abide by its obligations.
