This year has shown us the essential importance of public schools. But in Pennsylvania, our legislative leaders have created a school funding system that leaves hundreds of thousands of students without basic educational support because they live in low-wealth school districts. School districts and parents are going to court to change that status quo, which violates the Pennsylvania state constitution’s guarantee of a “thorough and efficient” system of public education for all. Trial in the case is on track to begin this September.

Join us for a free online webinar with attorneys leading the case to learn the latest updates, what this case could mean for public education in Pennsylvania, the root causes of underfunding and funding disparities, and how you can join the movement for public schools.

Join our attorneys to learn about Pennsylvania's school funding lawsuit, which is set to go to trial in 2021. The state government is breaking its own law, underfunding our schools by billions of dollars, and our kids are suffering. Public education advocates have a critical role to play in demanding action and then holding state lawmakers accountable for ensuring that all schools receive adequate and equitable funding to meet our children’s educational needs.

Pennsylvania’s constitution states that the General Assembly must “provide a thorough and efficient system of public education to serve the needs of the Commonwealth.” Instead, the state has adopted an irrational and inequitable system of funding public education that does not provide the resources students need to meet state standards and discriminates against students based on where they live and the wealth of their local communities. The Public Interest Law Center and the Education Law Center have filed suit on behalf of six school districts, seven parents, the Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools (PARSS) and the NAACP Pennsylvania State Conference against legislative leaders, state education officials, and the Governor asking for a court order that will force the legislature to comply with the state constitution and ensure all students receive access to a high-quality public education. That lawsuit could be a game-changer for the way PA public schools are funded. Come learn more about the case, which will go to trial in early 2021.
