JDO lawyers obtain important ruling on State's failure to provide adequate educational opportunities in chronically underperforming schools. |
|
JDO represents three rural Alaskan school districts and a consortium of parents and educators in Moore et al. v. State of Alaska, a challenge to the State's ongoing failure to provide adequate educational opportunities to students in chronically underperforming schools. Superior Court Judge Sharon Gleason ruled that the State has continued to deny students in these districts access to an adequate education, and has failed to remedy constitutional violations previously identified by the court. The court held that the State's intervention in these districts was poorly implemented, insufficient to address the constitutional violations, and targeted an unjustifiably narrow set of problems, ignoring both known causes of poor educational performance and known educational solutions to these problems. The court ordered the State to dramatically revamp its interventions in chronically underperforming schools. For more information, please contact Howard S. Trickey or Cheryl Mandala.
