The Connecticut Supreme Court will hear oral arguments next month in a long-awaited case dealing with education-funding inequities between municipalities.
Last September, in Connecticut Coalition for Justice in Education Funding v. Rell, Superior Court Judge Thomas Moukawsher issued a ruling declaring the state’s method for distributing education aid was “irrational and unconstitutional.” In reading from the bench, the judge noted the state legislature had recently stripped away $5 million in education aid from some of the neediest school systems, transferring funds to wealthier districts: “In desperate times, $5 million is a lot of money,” he said. The judge imposed a six-month deadline on the state to develop a plan to overhaul its education-funding distribution system.
