A former Idaho Supreme Court justice has filed another lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of school fees.
The Post-Register reports Robert Huntley filed the lawsuit against the West Ada School District in Ada County’s 4th District Court on Tuesday, contending that the fees some schools charge for full-day kindergarten classes discriminate against low-income parents and violate the Idaho Constitution’s requirement of a free public education. The school district has not yet filed a formal response to the lawsuit.
Most Idaho school districts offer free half-day kindergarten, but some charge tuition ranging from $250 to $300 a month for full-day kindergarten.
Huntley has filed several other lawsuits against various districts over school funding, including three over school fees that are still pending. (AP)
