A ruling is expected this week on whether class-action certification will be granted on a lawsuit filed by Hamilton County and six other area school boards over education funding, according to Davidson County Chancellor Claudia Bonnyman. The Times Free Press reports awarding the class-action status would allow other local school systems to benefit from Hamilton County’s original suit. "We're all receiving less money than the Supreme Court has said we need. This underfunding is a problem that belongs to every school system in the state,” Hamilton County Board of Education attorney Scott Bennett said.
