Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the Public School Education Act of 1975 is unconstitutional as applied to poorer urban school districts because it fails to provide a thorough and efficient education. The Court ordered the Act to be amended to assure funding for those districts at the level of property‑rich districts and remanded the case to the administrative agency for further fact‑finding.
