A legal battle over funding for Catholic schools in Saskatchewan appears to be over.
The Supreme Court of Canada said Thursday it won’t hear an appeal by the Good Spirit School Division (GSSD), which was seeking to overturn a decision regarding funding of the school in Theodore.
On March 25 of last year, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled unanimously in favour of an appeal of the Theodore case. That overturned a 2017 ruling saying it was unconstitutional for the provincial government to pay for non-Catholic students to attend Catholic schools.
The successful appeal meant the current system of public and separate schools would remain in Saskatchewan.
