Rural School Districts and the Fight for Funding Adequacy: The Legal Challenge of "CASFG v. State of Georgia"
Cornelius, Luke M.; Robinson, Charlotte Bunn
Journal of Education Finance, v32 n1 p71-88 Sum 2006
On June 23, 2005, oral arguments were heard in the Fulton County Superior Court in the first round of Georgia's current school finance litigation, "CASFG v. State of Georgia." The hearing was on the state's motion to dismiss the action by a coalition of rural school districts, parents, and students. Four months later Senior Judge Elizabeth Long issued her preliminary ruling, allowing the Consortium for Adequate School Funding (CASFG) to proceed with its claims on the constitutional adequacy of Georgia's Quality Basic Education (QBE) finance plan while dismissing the consortium's complaint regarding equity. Both parties await further procedural appeals before the Georgia Supreme Court, and this article reviews the claims regarding the current state of funding in Georgia's schools and recent related developments.
