Supreme Court declines charter school dress code case.

The Supreme Court declined to hear a case that could have had significant implications for the charter school industry. The case involved a charter school dress code that required girls to wear skirts, which was struck down by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The appellate court's ruling will stand, including its determination that North Carolina charter schools are "state actors" that work on behalf of the government. The legal fight has now extended beyond dress codes to entangle public religious charter schools and constitutional limits between church and state.
