## Key points

- A Colorado mother says her family lost $12,000 in preschool aid.
- Catholic schools challenge state participation requirements.
- The US Supreme Court is hearing the dispute.

## Summary

Colorado mother Erika Nagle says her family was denied about $12,000 in preschool aid because her children attend a Catholic school. The dispute raises questions about whether states can exclude religious schools from publicly funded education programmes because of their faith-based admissions policies.

Colorado’s universal preschool programme began in 2023 and offers eligible families roughly $6,300 per child for 15 hours of preschool a week. Nagle says two of her children were denied the funding and argues the rules pressure families to give up Catholic education; the article says the US Supreme Court is hearing the challenge on Tuesday.
