California Judge has a great Idea...Funded mandates

Districts Win in Court on Reimbursements

School districts and local governments are entitled to be repaid for the costs of running programs the state legislature requires, a Sacramento County superior court has ruled.

The California School Boards Association, the city of Newport Beach, Sweetwater Union High School District in San Diego County, and the counties of Fresno and Los Angeles sued the state over a bill passed in 2005. They objected because it allowed the state to avoid reimbursing districts for the costs associated with operating state-mandated programs.
