RALEIGH, N.C. (CN) — The North Carolina Supreme Court struck down a decades-long landmark education case Thursday, claiming a lower court lacked jurisdiction to handle the case.
The 32-year-old case, which is often called the “Leandro” case after the last name of a middle-school plaintiff, concerns securing additional funding for K-12 public schools. Five school districts and families of their students filed suit against the state in 1994, arguing their districts weren’t getting enough funding to provide students with an equal education. The state’s highest court heard arguments in the case in February 2024.
