Preferred term

Everson v. Board of Education  

Definition

  • Everson v. Board of Education (1947) concerned a New Jersey statute authorizing local school districts to reimburse parents of parochial schoolchildren (as well as those whose children attended public schools) for fares spent to reach their schools on regular buses of the public transportation system. The appellant, Arch R. Everson, alleged that the use of public money for reimbursing parents of Catholic students for bus fares constituted the use of state power to support churches.
