PHOENIX - The Supreme Court yesterday handed a partial victory to Arizona officials who are challenging federal court supervision of a program to educate students who aren't proficient in English.
By a 5-to-4 vote, the court reversed an appeals court ruling in a 17-year-old lawsuit intended to close the gap between students in Nogales who are learning to speak English and native English speakers.
Justice Samuel Alito, in the majority opinion, said a federal judge in Arizona must take another look at the program to see whether Nogales now is "providing equal opportunities'' to English language learners.
