School Finance Litigation

School finance litigation refers to legal cases where individuals or groups challenge the funding systems for public schools. These lawsuits often argue that the way states allocate money to schools is unfair, inconsistent, or inadequate, particularly affecting low-income or disadvantaged communities. Plaintiffs may seek to improve funding to ensure all students receive a quality education, arguing that funding disparities violate state constitutions. Such litigation can lead to changes in laws, funding formulas, or increased budgets to address inequities in educational resources and opportunities.
