United States Fourth Circuit

In a suit challenging a school policy that allows students to receive two academic credits for off-campus religious instruction offered by private educators, alleging that the policy impermissibly endorses religion and entangles church and state in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, the District Court's grant of summary judgment to the school is affirmed where, although plaintiffs do not lack standing, on the merits, there is no evidence that the program has had the effect of establishing religion or that it has entangled the school district in religion.
