In reaching this conclusion, the Michigan Supreme Court considered recent U.S. Supreme Court cases as well as a precedent Michigan Supreme Court case that was decided soon after the voter initiated Proposal C passed, amending Article 8 Section 2 of the Michigan Constitution to prohibit appropriations for nonpublic school educational services (i.e., to support the attendance of any student or the employment of any person at any such nonpublic school. In July 2017, the Legislature amended MCL 388.1752b to appropriate approximately $2.5 million in general funds for the 2017–2018 school year and appropriated funds for subsequent year(s) to reimburse private schools for their compliance with State mandated requirements . During this lawsuit disbursement of the funds was enjoined. Some reports indicate the funds now total approximately $5 million in general funds. The court remanded the case to the court of claims for a determination of the distribution of the funds.

"Consequently, because Proposal C was only understood to prohibit appropriations for nonpublic school educational services, such health and welfare measures as auxiliary services fell outside the scope of Proposal C," ….
