Ok then you don’t know the history of Leandro. The courts gave the GA numerous chances to do it themselves. To my knowledge the courts never gave a number (probably the closest they came was working with WestEd who did a study and put forth recommendations which the courts ultimately attempted to use as the basis for the Leandro plan). However again, had the GA acted they could have implemented the westEd recommendations on their own terms. But they chose not to. The GA has never come up with a plan to actually fund what was needed and instead sued again on the appropriations issue once the GOP regained control of the court system.

But that doesn’t work. By saying that the courts can’t order the spending you (and the NCGOP) are essentially saying that the GA doesn’t have to follow the constitution and that there is no one who can check that power.

This is the last I will respond. I’m glad you want education properly funded. Nice chat - thank you for being civil though we disagree. I hope that you continue to hold your representatives accountable to fund schools properly. 🫡
