Connnecticut public schools woefully underfunded by state - Courant.com

Connnecticut public schools woefully underfunded by state - Courant.com: "In Connecticut and nationally, courts have consistently ruled that underfunded schools amount to constitutional violations of children's right to an education.

In New York, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Washington and many other states, courts determined that there is a causal connection between students' poor performance and inadequate school funding.

Unlike the modern corporate education reformers, who vilify teachers and educational experts, courts value their firsthand knowledge of school conditions and the resources needed to give all students an equal opportunity to learn.

When shown evidence of conditions in schools, courts consistently find what CCM contends — without adequate funding, schools cannot provide an adequate education."
