School Funding Litigation

School funding litigation refers to legal cases where individuals or groups challenge the fairness or adequacy of funding for public schools. These cases often argue that state funding systems create inequities, particularly between affluent and less wealthy districts. Advocates assert that all students deserve equal access to quality education, and inadequate funding can hinder that opportunity. Courts may be asked to mandate changes in how schools are financed to ensure equitable distribution of resources, impacting educational outcomes directly. Such litigation is often part of broader discussions about educational reform and social justice.
