Lawsuit filed to "hold legislature responsible for adequately funding schools"

Last night, a lawsuit was filed in Eau Claire County Circuit Court against the Wisconsin legislature on the basis that the school finance system that the legislature is charged with providing does not comply with the state constitution. The goal of the lawsuit, as stated on the effort's website, is to "...have the court hold the legislature responsible for fulfilling its constitutional obligation to adequately fund Wisconsin public schools so that every Wisconsin student has an equal opportunity education." The lawsuit is referred to as "Wisconsin PTA, et.al. V. Wisconsin Assembly." The plaintiffs include the Wisconsin PTA; five school districts (Adams Friendship, Beloit, Eau Claire, Green Bay, and Necedah); local education unions in four of those districts; parents, teachers, students, taxpayers, and other community members in those five communities; and WPEN. The plaintiffs are being represented by Law Forward and WEAC.
