Make the investment, get results.
CSBA’s Education Legal Alliance is a consortium of school districts, county offices of education and ROC/Ps that voluntarily join together to create a powerful force to
pursue and defend a broad spectrum of statewide public education interests in the courts and before state agencies. The Alliance has a history of both saving and gaining millions of dollars for schools, while protecting the governance role of the board.
When the Alliance enters a case, everyone wins. Take a look at some recently filed cases and how the Alliance fights for and alongside you:
-
School finance litigation – the Alliance filed a lawsuit to declare the state’s education finance system unconstitutional.
-
AB 3632 mental health services—a lawsuit against the governor’s veto of funding
-
State mandates—lawsuits challenging numerous state gimmicks to defer and avoid reimbursement
-
Collective bargaining—amicus briefs against union expansion of bargaining rights
-
8th grade Algebra I requirement—won a challenge against the State Board of Education
Fix school finance.
- CSBA’s Education Legal Alliance, in collaboration with the Association of California School Administrators and the California State PTA, has taken a bold step and filed a historic lawsuit against the State of California.
• This lawsuit declares the current education finance system UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
• Students should NOT continue to suffer from California’s irrational school finance system.
Why did we file the lawsuit? Because the State's finance system:
- Is clearly broken.
- Makes no connection between the allocation of funds and actual student needs.
- Denies districts the ability to provide students their right to a high-quality education.
