A noteworthy case in Florida crossed my desk this week in coursework and I thought it worth sharing. It seems citizens in Florida are gathering and have raised suit against the state for not providing a high quality education.
In Citizens for strong schools, inc. v. Florida State Board of education local citizens have accused the state of allegedly not providing enough funds AND "misusing standardized test results in isolation to make high stakes decisions about students and schools".
The complaint was filed on November, 19, 2009 and has not been resolved. Stay tuned for updates. I will be following this one closely!
It's kind of like suing ourselves, isn't it? Are they going to open voting records to find out who voted for and against things like the class size amendment in order to include or exclude them from the suit? This could get very sticky.
