They had previously ruled that government funds (in the form of tax credits) could go to religious schools.

This goes beyond that. They're saying that it's unconstitutional to have such funds go to secular private schools yet forbid funds in those programs to go to religious private schools. There are dozens of state constitutions potentially impacted by that.
