A lawsuit that claims Pennsylvania doesn't provide sufficient funding for public schools is about to face a major hurdle in the courts.
Commonwealth Court on Wednesday will consider whether the case should continue. It's been filed to force lawmakers and the governor to pump more money into education.
The school districts and others who filed the lawsuit argue the current system violates the state constitution's equal protection and education clauses.
Republican leaders in the Legislature said three prior lawsuits with similar aims were denied by the courts. They said school funding is a profoundly political question that the courts aren't positioned to answer.
The legal challenge comes after four years of tight state budgets have forced cutbacks at public schools. Last week, Gov. Tom Wolf called for higher education spending.
