Summary:

In 1999, a statute was enacted creating Florida's Opportunity Scholarship Program, the first statewide school voucher program in the nation. Several groups sued the Governor and others on grounds that the program violated the state Constitution. The trial court struck the statute as unconstitutional, and the First District Court affirmed.
