A group of school districts that sued the state over the constitutionality of its public school funding system will appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court after a circuit judge ruled against them on all counts.
The schools filed the lawsuit in January 2004 and it finally went to trial earlier this year. They claimed the state’s 1993 school funding formula and a replacement formula adopted in 2005 provided inadequate funding for education that was unfairly distributed among Missouri’s 524 public school districts. Cole County Judge Richard Callahan rejected those claims in a pair of decisions issued in August and September.
