RALEIGH –Private school administrators say North Carolina’s scholarship program for low-income families has been an “opportunity to grow in faith.”

That’s because private schools across the state allowed 1,878 students to stay in school, despite a judge’s decision to freeze the promised tuition funds, leaving parents without the means to foot the bill.

Soon the North Carolina Supreme Court will decide if those hopes and dreams can be funded by the state, or if it violates its constitutional obligation to provide free and adequate public education for its residents, as the plaintiffs claim in two separate lawsuits.
