School Money Trials: The Legal Pursuit of Educational Adequacy

Buch

Adequacy lawsuits have emerged as an alternative strategy in pursuit of improved public education in America. Plaintiffs allege insufficient resources to provide students with the quality of education promised in their states constitution, hoping the courts will step in and order the state to increase its level of aid. Since 1980, 45 of the 50 states have faced such suits. How pervasiveand effectiveis this trend? What are its ramifications, at the school district level and on a broader scope? This important new book addresses these questions.
