New School Finance Suit in California


This week, a coalition of parents, students, school districts, and community groups filed a lawsuit challenging California's school finance system as violative of the state constitution's education article. The case is styled Robles-Wong v. California. When I figure out how to attach electronic documents to a post on this site, I will put up the complaint and the press packet, which Stanford Law Professor Bill Koski (who is representing the plaintiffs in the case) kindly forwarded to me last night. Keep your eyes on this one--it could be a very big deal.
