Statewide Charter School Board rescinds contract with religious charter school, but with a caveat

More than a month after an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling, the Statewide Charter School Board voted Monday to obey the court's order to rescind its contract with St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School – but with a caveat.

The board voted 8-0 to rescind the contract, provided it will be reinstated if either the state court or the U.S. Supreme Court “reverses, vacates or otherwise nullifies” the state court’s current order. The motion adopted by the board was retroactive to June 25.

"Our board is always going to be in compliance with the court order," board Chair Brian Shellem said. "There were those that wanted to rush the process, but there was a process. This board will always respect the process. So that's what we did. You heard the motion – the contract will be in full force if the United States Supreme Court decides to overturn."
