Hoagland v. Franklin Township Cmty. Sch. Corp.

In 2010, due to a large budget deficit, Franklin Township Community School Corporation voted to discontinue transportation services for the majority of students attending its public schools. Parents of students who attend public schools in Franklin School Corporation brought a class action suit seeking a declaratory judgment that discontinuing transportation is prohibited under the Education Clause of the Indiana Constitution. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Franklin School Corporation. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the Indiana Constitution does not mandate school corporations to provide transportation to and from school, and therefore, Franklin School Corporation did not violate a constitutional mandate.
