High-Stakes Trial On Delaware Public School Funding Begins. Did I say high-stakes?:
Among the allegations in the lawsuit is that property in Kent, New Castle and Sussex counties is not being assessed for tax purposes at its “true value in money” as required under state law. The plaintiffs say that results in less tax revenue than what schools should be getting.
