Setback for Vouchers, Charter Schools in Puerto Rican Court's Ruling

The Puerto Rican government's push this year to increase school choice has been at least temporarily tripped up by a judge's decision.

Superior Judge Iris González ruled that private school vouchers violate Puerto Rico's Constitution, Primera Hora reported. In addition, González declared in the ruling released last Friday that only the University of Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico's municipalities may operate "alianza" schools, which are intended to be similar to charter schools.
