The Alabama Supreme Court will hear arguments Dec. 3 on the state government's appeal of a judge's ruling striking down the Alabama Accountability Act.
The case is third on the court's docket for a hearing that starts at 9 a.m. in Montgomery.
The Accountability Act provides state tax credits for parents to move children from public schools rated as failing to private schools. It also provides tax credits for individuals and businesses that contribute to scholarships for low-income students to attend private schools rather than public schools.
Members of the state teachers' organization challenged the law in court. Montgomery County Circuit Judge Gene Reese ruled it unconstitutional in May. State officials and some parents are appealing his ruling. The law remains in effect while the appeal is pending.
