Order Granting Motion For Preliminary Injunction

Jan. 11, 2016 – Judge James Wilson grants the parents’ motion for preliminary injunction, stating the public school parents have “clearly shown SB 302 violates the Article 11, Section 6.1 and 6.2 of the Nevada Constitution.” These sections prohibit the diversion of funds specifically set aside for public education, and prohibits reducing these funds below the level deemed sufficient by the Legislature. Since SB 302 violates the Nevada Constitution, the judge also found that parents would necessarily be irreparably harmed if the program were to go into effect, in accordance with settled case law.
