Back to EpisodesLeandro v. North Carolina: Fight for Fair School Funding
Description
In 1994, a landmark case, Leandro v. North Carolina, was filed, alleging unequal school funding in rural areas. The state Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that the state was failing to provide a sound basic education. Despite a detailed remedial plan in 2021, only a fraction has been funded, leading to frustration among advocates and families. Two years after the latest Supreme Court rehearing, theres still no ruling or timeline, as a stuck state budget blocks progress. This decades-long battle highlights the push for fair funding, but real change remains elusive.
