District Court Judge Peter Froelicher has again refused to dismiss the lawsuit against Wyoming’s universal school-choice program, leaving the fate of the controversial law uncertain as enrolled families accrue costs for private-school expenses the state program has pledged to fund. Froelicher’s Nov. 6 decision is the latest bump in the road for advocates of the Steamboat Legacy Scholarship Program. Through the program, Wyoming residents can apply to receive up to $7,000 in state funds per student to pay for costs associated with private K-12 education. The money covers not only private-school tuition, but also things like admission fees to zoos or internet classes for homeschooling children not enrolled in public education.
