Law Suit Claims that PA School Funding System is Unconstitutional

I thought you might all find the following to be of interest.

According to the website: http://edfundinglawsuit.wordpress.com/ , “Six school districts from across the Commonwealth, an association of 150 rural and small schools, as well as parents, children, and the Pennsylvania NAACP, filed a lawsuit today alleging that Pennsylvania’s current school funding arrangement violates the Pennsylvania Constitution by denying students an equal opportunity to receive an adequate education. The lawsuit was filed in Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court and names the Governor, legislative leaders, the Secretary of Education, and the State Board of Education as defendants. It is the first school funding litigation initiated in Pennsylvania in over a decade.”

There are some interesting videos explaining the suit:
