Carson City, NV – Today, Nevada Attorney General Adam Paul
Laxalt issued the following statement after an order granting the state of
Nevada’s motion to dismiss the ESA challenge brought by the American Civil
Liberties Union:
“This is a huge and
important step in getting certainty for the thousands of families waiting to
participate in Nevada’s ESA program,” said Laxalt. “The Court correctly
dismissed these speculative and tenuous claims. The decision today clears the
way for the Nevada Supreme Court to meaningfully address the remaining
uncertainty caused by the injunction in the other case challenging Nevada’s ESA
program. We are one giant step closer to helping thousands of Nevada families choose
the best educational option for their children.”
