The justices turned the accountability argument upside down, noting voucher schools are not subject to the same rigorous state regulations that apply to public schools. That, they wrote, violates the constitutional mandate for a "uniform" public school system. "We recognize that the proponents of vouchers have a strongly held view that students should have choices. Our decision does not deny parents recourse to either public or private school alternatives to a failing school," said the 35-page ruling, authored by Chief Justice Barbara Pariente. "Only when the private school option depends upon public funding is choice limited."
