Vincent v. Voight
Wisconsin Supreme Court
614 N.W.2d 388 (2000)
- Written by Deanna Curl, JD
Facts
Wisconsin students, parents, teachers, and others (education advocates) (plaintiff) filed a lawsuit alleging that Wisconsin’s school-financing scheme violated the uniformity clause and the equal-protection clause of the Wisconsin Constitution. The education advocates alleged that the state’s educational-financing system failed to provide districts that had a large number of high-needs students with adequate funding to offer both high-needs and other students educational resources consistent with districts that had a lower share of high-needs students. The circuit court and the court of appeals upheld the constitutionality of the school-financing scheme, and the education advocates appealed.
