A student-led lawsuit in Kentucky claims the state’s education system has been backsliding for years since lawmakers enacted nationally renowned reforms.
The students are seeking a ruling that the state is failing to meet its constitutional duty to provide children with an adequate and equitable education.
The student plaintiffs are in high school. They say they want to hold the state accountable for what they see as shortcomings in guaranteeing a quality education whether a student lives in an affluent or poor district.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, asks a judge to determine whether schoolchildren are receiving an adequate and equitable education.
