Significant change in the way schools are funded COULD be on the way! Sign this petition in support of the CCJEF (Connecticut Coalition for Justice in Educational Funding) in the CCJEF vs. Rell lawsuit if you would like to see equity in funding for all schools in Connecticut, regardless of urban, suburban or rural locations.

The CCJEF v. Rell complaint alleges that the state’s failure to suitably and equitably fund its public schools has irreparably harmed thousands of Connecticut schoolchildren by limiting their future ability to take full advantage of the nation’s democratic processes and institutions, to secure meaningful employment in the competitive high-skills/high-wage global marketplace, and to successfully continue their education beyond high school. The state’s failure to provide plaintiff schoolchildren with opportunities to meet the state’s own learning standards has resulted in a system that fails Connecticut’s students and offends the Connecticut constitution. The complaint also alleges that the state’s systemic school funding failure disproportionately impacts African-American, Latino, and other minority students, in violation of the Connecticut constitution and federal law.
