After 40 witnesses took the stand over the course of more than three months, testimony in the landmark trial over how Pennsylvania funds public education ended this week.

 

But a resolution to the lawsuit brought by school districts, parents, and statewide organizations who say the state’s education funding is so inadequate and inequitable as to violate its constitution isn’t expected anytime soon.

 

While the plaintiffs and defendants — Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who didn’t argue against the claims, and Republican legislative leaders, who did — have presented their evidence, there are still procedural steps that will last into summer. Then the Commonwealth Court judge who heard the case will issue a decision.

 

Whatever she decides, an appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is likely. And the ultimate ruling won’t necessarily result in immediate changes to how schools are funded.
