A Franklin County judge said Ohio’s private school voucher program is unconstitutional in a ruling this week. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s office is planning an appeal of the decision. The court granted a summary judgment, which is a ruling that comes from a judge without the need for a full trial in the case.

Ohio signaled on Wednesday that it will swiftly appeal a court ruling declaring the state's private school voucher system unconstitutional, a decision celebrated by public school advocates and condemned by a prominent Christian education organization.
