The Supreme court ruled that Washington is violating its own constitution and failing to provide adequately for basic education.

 

Last week’s ruling is seen as vindication for superintendents across the state who have been railing against further cuts.

 

State Superintendent, Randy Dorn, says the Supreme Court ruling is final and will likely go a long way in protecting basic education.

 

Dorn admits that even with this recent ruling, it’s too early to celebrate.

 

Legislatures kicked off their 60 day session yesterday and still need to ease a state budget gap that amounts to almost a billion dollars.

 

As part of it’s ruling, the Supreme Court will leave the next steps of meeting basic education needs up to the lawmakers.
