The American Enterprise Institute is holding an event next Tuesday entitled, "Schoolhouses and Courthouses: Does Court-Driven School Reform Deliver?"
The focus? State court judges have used the "education clauses" of their state constitutions to deem education funding inadequate and force states to dedicate more dollars to it. Has increased funding led to commensurate gains in student achievement? If not, what would it take for these investments to deliver? Stanford University's Eric A. Hanushek and Alfred A. Lindseth, a senior partner in the law firm of Sutherland Asbill & Brenna, will discuss such questions. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, will respond. Our pal Rick Hess will moderate the chat.
You can find more event details on the AEI website.
