Democracy Upheld. Court Takeover of Public Schools Fails.

Connecticut’s high court affirmed elected officials’ control over public education policy Wednesday. The 4-3 decision overturns a  2016 Superior Court decision that sought to establish judicial oversight of public education. The 2016 decision also took unsettling aim at the state’s funding of special education, threatening to bar children in need from the state’s schools. Those children are safe from the decision’s chilling animosity.
