Tennessee School Districts Agree to Delay a Funding Lawsuit
A 6-year-old lawsuit challenging how Tennessee funds public schools might be paused until after the upcoming legislative session.
Memphis and Nashville’s school districts and the state agreed to put the proceedings on hold in a joint motion filed Nov. 19, The Tennessean reported. The three-judge panel overseeing the case has not yet made a ruling.
The judges are scheduled to hear arguments for contradictory motions for summary judgment in the case on Friday. Granting a summary judgment or the joint motion would eliminate the need to go to trial in February as planned.
