Abstract
The academic achievement gap between poor, minority students and their wealthier white peers has been one of the most troubling and persistent policy problems in the United States throughout its history. For the past forty years, education reformers have turned to the courts to increase educational opportunities for minority and impoverished children by increasing their access to funding. Success in court has been mixed. While the Supreme Court’s decision in San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez foreclosed the possibility of a federal right to equalized education expenditures, education reform plaintiffs in many states have been able to secure a state constitutional right to equalized education funding.
