Abstract: The purpose of this study was to research United States Supreme Court decisions affecting public education from October, 1969, through June, 1977, to provide a source of information for school administrators, school boards, and the general public as an aid to the solution of some common problems in education. The study began by reviewing all Court decisions prior to October, 1969, which affected the educational process in the areas Of religion, desegregation, and academic freedom. The Court decisions from October, 1969, through June, 1977, were then studied. Analysis of the voting patterns of individual Justices was attempted based on concurrence or dissent with the majority opinion of the Court. In the area of church-state relations, the decisions of Lemon I (1971) laid the cornerstones for subsequent judgment of cases involving public aid to non-public schools. The tests of legislative intent, primary effect, excessive entanglement, and political divisiveness potential were established to decide the legality of various state aid plans, such as tuition reimbursement, tax credit, construction grants, auxiliary services, remedial services, teaching equipment, and other assistance.
