1947-Everson+v.+Board+of+Education

__Summary __ Under a New Jersey law, parents of public and private school students were allowed to receive reimbursements if they sent their children to school on buses operated by the public transportation system.

__Impact on Education __ On February 10, 1947 in a 5 to 4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the state bill was constitutionally permissible because the reimbursements were offered to all students regardless of religion, and because the payments were made to parents and not any religious institution.
