Pennsylvania schools push for more funding after court rules in their favor
Fox News
Plaintiffs in a lawsuit over Pennsylvania's school funding system are pushing the legislature to spend more on education following a legal victory.
The lawsuit, filed in 2014, argued that Pennsylvania’s system of paying for public schools is failing the poorest districts and lawyers for the plaintiffs contend that billions more dollars are necessary to meet the state's constitutional obligation.
While the judge agreed, she also did not direct the Legislature on how much state aid to distribute, or how. Lawyers for the plaintiffs — including six school districts, the NAACP and the Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools — want lawmakers to comply with the judge's ruling.
