@severud Well, that's interesting. I wonder if you could expand that to include a duty to ensure that students can take advantage of that education by making sure they aren't suffering from homelessness and other deprivations?
@skountouros My edification of such came from the work of those fighting the state to comply with the ruling in McCleary.
My personal view is that the legislature has been and continues to be out of compliance.
PS I appreciate that you took the effort to find the answer.
