The judge overseeing North Carolina’s long-running Leandro education funding case has confirmed that his next hearing will address one specific issue. The hearing Friday will focus on the amount of money necessary to meet the state’s current Leandro obligations.
More than $677 million of a court-ordered state education plan remains unfunded, according to new documents from state lawyers. The documents filed Monday respond to the N.C. Supreme Court’s latest ruling in the long-running Leandro case.
