The case was significant because the state had relied on a host of safety and environmental justifications to support its position that compensation was not required . But now that the constitutional hurdle has been cleared , the debate can move forward .

In 2002 , the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the Cleveland case , a decision that is expected to clarify whether it is constitutional for children to use tax-funded vouchers to attend religious schools . " A 1997 Harvard University analysis of two private schools opened in Cleveland as a response to vouchers - Hope Academy and Hope Ohio City - found that student test scores in math and reading rose in their first year enrolled , and that the Cleveland voucher program had " helped improve student test scores . The Court 's decision demonstrates that a carefully designed voucher program can pass constitutional muster . While the first independent evaluation focused on the Horizon Program students and parents , a second independent evaluation due out in August 2000 will address the changes and adaptations made by the school district in response to the Horizon Program . At the time the first voucher law was passed , an estimated one-third of the school district 's employees were sending their own children to private schools . A number of state legislatures can be expected to debate voucher programs now that the Supreme Court has ruled that they pass constitutional muster . Similar programs have been enacted over the past year in Pennsylvania and Florida and are being considered in a number of other states , including Ohio , which held its first hearings on the issue in the autumn of 2001 .
