School Finance Litigation: The Promises and Limitations of the Third Wave

Abstract

Equity and adequacy in school finance has been a concern of scholars and reformers since the early 1900s and became a subject of court litigation in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Despite intensified school finance litigation and legislation over the past several decades, school systems in the United States continue their struggle to operate equitably and adequately. This persistent inequity, both in terms of educational inputs and outcomes, has generated a long and complex series of lawsuits, which we attempt to summarize in this article.
