مستخلص: Public K-12 education plays an essential role in preparing the next generation of Americans for participation in our democracy. Funding for education comes primarily through state and local funds, with some supplementation federally. Much of the local funding for K-12 education comes through the assessment of property taxes at the local level. This leads to significant per-pupil disparities in funding both within a given state and certainly between states. This Article explores the use of school funding litigation as a tool to increase K-12 funding and to improve adequacy and equity of educational opportunities for students. The Article opens with a review of the history of school funding litigation. It then reviews research on educational outcomes in states post-successful school funding litigation on the part of litigants. The Article concludes that school funding litigation can be an important tool that can be used to improve educational opportunities for all students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
