Here we go again.
Judge Howard Manning, who oversees the Leandro school-adequacy lawsuit, issued an order that requires the NC General Assembly to revise a budget provision that caps at-risk student enrollment in state pre-kindergarten programs at 20 percent.
This is a HUGE blow to the Leandro plaintiffs, who hoped that Judge Manning would order the legislature to increase funding to public schools and/or move the More at Four pre-kindergarten program back to the Department of Public Instruction.
