Advocacy Group Files Lawsuit Aimed at Putting More Money Into Nevada Classrooms

An advocacy group has filed a lawsuit aimed at forcing Nevada to put more money into classrooms. A civil complaint filed Wednesday in state court in Carson City accuses state education officials of chronically under-funding overcrowded and low-performing public schools. The lawsuit is backed by the Educate Nevada Now advocacy group. It declares education a basic state constitutional right and calls current budgeting insufficient to ensure classroom success.
