The Right to Education? In the case of San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodrigues (1973), the Supreme Court rejected a claim that education is a fundamental right. Therefore, litigants have since turned to the state courts and constitutions to address inequalities in education. •Consider the following case: Cassidy Nance has filed suit in Florida state court arguing her granddaughter is being denied an adequate education. Specifically, she argues the school is inadequate to meet the needs of the students. Cassidy's granddaughter Beth lives in a rural town where there are few taxpayers to help fund the school. Classes are currently being held in a modular unit without air conditioning and appropriate space for the students. Cassidy's attorneys are arguing that education is a fundamental right and that the State of Florida is denying Beth this right by not providing her the tools necessary to receive that education. •Assume you are a justice on the Florida Supreme Court and have been charged by the Chief Justice to draft the majority opinion. Using other resources provided to you as a guide, write a four-page opinion as to whether there is a fundamental right to education in Florida. In the opinion, be sure to discuss fundamental rights in general and your position based on these sources. .

Plyler v Doe
The Plyler v. Doe case challenged a Texas law that allowed public schools to deny enrollment to undocumented immigrant children and withhold funding for their education. The US Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that the law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The Court found that denying children an education based on their immigration status or that of their parents would harm them and society. This landmark ruling established that all children, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to equal access to a K-12 public education.

The intersection between education and race has long sparked emotional debate. Prior to the Civil War it was uncommon and in some places illegal to educate children who were not white. The Fourteenth Amendment (1868) requiring equal protection of the law for all citizens made it illegal to overtly deny children of color an education or to give them an expressly inferior one. However, the changes were more cosmetic that substantive. In many places, Jim Crow laws legalized accommo- dations that were supposedly “separate but equal,” but in reality were highly unequal. Blacks were the most numerous victims, but Asian Americans, Hispanics, and others also were relegated to second-class facilities and services. The Supreme Court upheld this fictitious equality in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), a case that involved railroad car accommodations but also applied to schools and many other points of segregation. That decision stood until the Supreme Court overturned it in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Writing for the unanimous court, Chief Justice Earl Warren opined that in “public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
Over the years, the application Brown v. Board of Education slowly eliminated the overtly intentional school segregation, but, like the Fourteenth Amendment, there was a large gap between theoretical importance and practical impact. Two factors lim- ited Brown. One was that some school districts build schools or drew district lines in ways that maintained or created schools that were de facto racially segregated. The second factor involved living patterns. Whites fled cities to the suburbs or sent their children to private schools to avoid racially integrated schools, and urban schools became more and more minority dominated. These population shifts also left cities with diminished tax bases, and the schools declined for want of adequate funding.
In response, the courts moved to a more proactive stance. In a case involving the region centered on Charlotte, North Carolina, where schools remained very segre- gated and the school board resisted moving to desegregate, a federal judge in 1965 found that the segregation was intentional, ordered that all 105 schools integrate, and specified that children be bussed between schools in necessary. The Supreme Court in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education (1971) unanimously backed

in Brown v. Board of Education,
where the court declared state
laws denying access to public
schools based on race to be
unconstitutional under the
Equal Protection clause:

Education is a hallmark of civic life in America, so it’s no surpr.docx
Education is a hallmark of civic life in America, so it’s no surprise that it’s been at the center of many landmark controversies over the years. Here are 10 Supreme Court cases related to education that impacted both constitutional law and the public school experience.
10. Brown v. Board of Education (1954)
Arguably the most well-known ruling of the 20th century, Brown overturned Plessy v. Fergusonand established that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” The Warren Court’s unanimous decision explained that the separate-but-equal doctrine violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and ordered an end to legally mandated race-segregated schools. While the Brown decision marked only the beginning of a prolonged struggle to achieve actual integration, its impact cannot be understated.
9. Engel v. Vitale(1962) and 8. Abington School District v. Schempp (1963)
This pair of cases shaped the modern understanding of how the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment constrains prayer in public schools. In Engel, the Court struck down a New York State rule that allowed public schools to hold a short, nondenominational prayer at the beginning of the school day. The Court decided that these prayers amounted to an “official stamp of approval” upon one particular kind of prayer and religious service, and said that, since teachers are agents of the federal government, the scheme violated the Establishment Clause.
The reasoning in Engel was also applied in Schempp, in which the Court struck down a Pennsylvania policy that required all students to read 10 Bible verses and say the Lord’s Prayer at the beginning of each day. While a student could get an exemption with a parent’s note, the Warren Court decided that this still amounted to an unconstitutional government endorsement of a particular religious tradition.
7. Lemon v. Kurtzman(1971)
This case adjudicated a different sort of Establishment Clause challenge, where the controversy dealt with a statute providing financial support for teacher salaries and textbooks in parochial schools. The Burger Court unanimously decided that this financial aid scheme violated the Establishment Clause and delineated the governing precedent for Establishment Clause cases known as the Lemon test. Under Lemon, statutes (1) must have a secular legislative purpose; (2) must have primary effects that neither inhibit nor advance religion; and (3) cannot foster an “excessive government entanglement with religion.” The Court held that this scheme violated the third prong of the Lemon test.
6. Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972)
Among the litany of public school cases from the Warren and Burger eras is the landmark Free Exercise Clause decision in Yoder. Wisconsin mandated that all children attend public school until age 16, but Jonas Yoder, a devoutly religious Amish man, refused to send his children to school past eighth grade. He argued that his children didn’t need to be in school that long t ...
Swanson Vs Guthrie
This document summarizes the 1972 Supreme Court case Wisconsin v. Yoder, which established that Amish parents have a constitutional right to withdraw their children from compulsory school attendance after the eighth grade. The Court ruled that Wisconsin's compulsory attendance law, which required children to attend school until age 16, placed an unreasonable burden on the free exercise of the Amish religion. While states have an interest in universal education, that interest must be balanced against fundamental rights like religious freedom. The Court found Wisconsin failed to demonstrate its interest in compelling additional years of education was sufficiently high to override the Amish parents' religious interests.
Swanson Vs Guthrie
This case involves a homeschooled student, Annie Swanson, whose parents wanted her to take some classes, like foreign language and science, at the local public school. The school district had a policy that students must attend full-time. When the new superintendent took over, he refused to let Annie attend part-time. The court sided with the school district, finding that parents do not have a constitutional right to pick and choose which classes their child takes or to send their child to public school part-time.

- Tinker v. Des Moines ruled that students retain freedom of speech rights in public schools unless there is a valid reason to limit that speech.
- Brown v. Board of Education overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine and found that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, violating the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal treatment under the law.

Week 2 visual student rights
The plaintiff was an eighth grade student who created a website at home that contained profane and threatening statements about her teacher. She was suspended from school as a result. The main issue in the case was whether the school could discipline her for off-campus speech. The court ruled that the school could discipline her because the website was aimed at the school community and foreseeably spread in the school, disrupting school activities. The court found that the school's actions did not violate the student's first amendment rights.

Court Cases - Special Education - William Allan Kritsonis, PhD
This document discusses two court cases related to the education of children with disabilities. The first case establishes that a free appropriate public education under IDEA requires that students receive some educational benefit, but does not require schools to maximize a child's potential. The second case examines whether a child with autism should be educated in a regular classroom or a separate classroom for children with autism. The court ultimately ruled that the school district did not take enough steps to include the child in the regular classroom.

Essay About Brown V. Board Of Education
Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional. The case began the process of desegregating American schools and stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." It arose from five separate cases challenging racial segregation in public schools. The case overturned the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision that allowed "separate but equal" facilities for black and white Americans. Brown v. Board had a profound impact on dismantling racial segregation in the United States.
Serrano V. Priest and Educational Equalization in California
The document summarizes the Serrano v. Priest case which challenged California's school funding system on equal protection grounds. It discusses key precedents like Brown v. Board of Education which found segregated schools unconstitutional. California relied heavily on local property taxes to fund schools, resulting in disparities between wealthy and poor districts. Serrano v. Priest argued this violated equal protection by providing unequal educational opportunities. The California Supreme Court agreed and found the system unconstitutional in Serrano I, requiring the state to equalize school funding.

Brown vs board of education
This document summarizes the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) which ruled that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. The Court found that segregating children in public schools solely based on race, even if the physical facilities and other tangible factors are equal, deprives minority children of equal educational opportunities. The Court rejected the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson, finding that separating minority children from others of similar age and qualifications solely due to their race generates feelings of inferiority that affect their motivation to learn and their educational and mental development.

Columbus Regional Hospital is one of the established healthcare facilities in Indiana State. Since its establishment, the hospital has been committed to the delivery of high quality, efficient and satisfactory healthcare services to all its clients. However, to provide world-class services, the facility has had to heavily invest in and properly manage its human and non-human resources. This justifies why he hospital has managed to survive for quite a long time. When it comes to financial management, the hospital’s management has demonstrated a commitment in usage. The records from the hospital’s activity ratios prove that the Columbus Regional Hospital is progressive.
One of the most important indicators in the determination of the hospital’s progress is the asset turnover ratio. This is an activity ratio derived by comparing the company’s net sales to its total assets. From its financial statements, Columbus Regional Hospital has had an impressive result. The total assets for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years stood at $ 345,782,576 and
$331,609,111 respectively against a total revenue of $195.4 million in 2011 and $232.9 million from $195.4 in 2012. This is a clear proof that the hospital is performing well. The management has been efficiently utilizing the allocated resources to help in improving the hospital’s revenue.
The other important activity ratio used in measuring the performance of Columbus Regional Hospital is fixed asset turnover ratio. As its name suggests, fixed asset ratio simply compares net sales to the fixed assets. During the 2011 and 2012 financial periods, Columbus Regional Hospital had a fixed assets were valued at $130,958,392 in 2011 and $ 130,538,382 in 2012. On the other hand, the hospital garnered total revenue of $195,403,003 in 2011 and
$ 233,046,391 in 2012. This is clear evidence that the hospital is efficient in the use of its resources. It is for this reason that the facility increased the number of its patients from 241,774 in 2011 to 246,130 in 2012. This was a 19.2% increment in the number of admissions. It represented an increase in revenues from the Medicare, Medicaid, managed care plans and other programs.
Last, but not least, the performance of Columbus Regional Hospital can be done using the age of plant ration. Age of plant ratio is a type of ratio that is used in the measurement of the age of a healthcare facility’s equipments by assessing the rate of depreciation of the said equipments. A thorough analysis of Columbus Regional Hospital shows that the facility is ahead of its plant age benchmark. An evaluation of the physical and technological threatening depreciation rate in the company because the life expectancy shows that there is no depreciation of the equipments. Meaning, the hospital has heavily invested in the equipments. However, to be on the ...

Halifax Supreme Court decision
This document is the opinion of the Supreme Court of North Carolina in the case of Latonya Silver v. Halifax County Board of Commissioners. The plaintiffs allege that the tripartite school district system in Halifax County, which results in inequitable funding and resources between districts, violates students' constitutional right to a sound basic education. The Supreme Court affirms dismissal of the case, finding that under Leandro v. State, the State—not a county board of commissioners—is solely responsible for ensuring every child's right to an adequate education under the state constitution.

Layshock v. Hermitage School District
Identification of the Case
Layshock v. Hermitage School Dist., 593 F.3d 249 (3d Cir.2010).
Date decided: Under the authority of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania, the case was decided on June 13, 2011.
Issue: a). Was the student’s actions punishable?
b). Should the student have been suspended and not allowed to participate in the
graduation exercise?
Holding: a). The court held that under the circumstances in the case, there is a
constitutional prohibition in the first amendment that prevents schools from reaching beyond the
boundaries of the schoolyard to impose discipline (Baxter, 2014). This discipline was also
termed as inappropriate.
b). While the initial decision to forbid the boy from attending his graduation was
revoked, the federal judge ruled that the suspension was unconstitutional and required a
compensatory charge on the school in 2007 (Conn, 2015). On appeal in 2010, the appeal court
upheld the former decision. The last appeal was made in the US Court of Appeals, Third Circuit
and decided on June 13, 2011.
Background and Facts of the Case
Background: The case concerns Justine Layshocks parents against Hickory High School
who had suspended him for creating an online parody against the principal which in turn made
him miss his graduation.
Facts: The student’s actions took place off campus and during non-school hours. The
picture used was from the school’s website which is a public website in which everyone has
access.
Issues: The serious issue arising from the case is the fact that however distasteful his
actions, the student had not committed any offenses outlined by the school district which would
in turn cause a suspension. Also, due to the suspension, the student was kept from participating
in a momentous milestone in his life.
Decision of the high court/Reason for the decision: While the initial decision to forbid
the boy from attending his graduation was revoked, the federal judge ruled that the suspension
was unconstitutional and required a compensatory charge on the school in 2007 (Conn, 2015).
On appeal in 2010, the appeal court upheld the former decision. The last appeal was made in the
US Court of Appeals, Third Circuit and decided on June 13, 2011.
Opinion: The upholding of the student's freedom of speech by all the courts support the rights of expression. It shows the ability of the constitution to promote the ability of students to freely communicate their views without the fear of intimidation (Mercier, 2015). The majority of the people felt that the case was adequately taken and the judges effectively protected the righ.
The Tea Party movement that started in 2010 is considered by some .docx
The Tea Party movement that started in 2010 is considered by some political analysts as an example of a “grass roots” initiative by frustrated common citizens who seek to influence national policy.

76 Kappan December 2015/January 2016
is required in the perfor-
mance of our most basic
public responsibilities, even
service in the armed forces.
It is the very foundation of
good citizenship. Today it
is a principal instrument in
awakening the child to cul-
tural values, in preparing
him for later professional
training, and in helping him
to adjust normally to his en-
vironment. In these days, it is
doubtful that any child may
reasonably be expected to
succeed in life if he is de-
nied the opportunity of an
education.
But in 1973, in San Antonio
Independent School District v.
Rodriguez, the Supreme Court
held that access to public
education was not a consti-
tutional right under the U.S.
Constitution.
In another case, Chinese-
American students with
limited English language
profi ciency claimed the San
Francisco school district’s
failure to provide language
accommodation and support
for them violated the U.S.
Constitution and Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act. Find-
ing in favor of the students,
in Lau v. Nichols (1974), the
Supreme Court focused not
on the constitutional question
but on the Civil Rights Act.
Congress codifi ed much of
the decision shortly thereafter
by passing the Equal Educa-
tion Opportunities Act.
Denying children an
education because
of the actions of their
parents is not legal.
The right to a public educa-
tion for those who are not
U.S. citizens, legal residents,
or living with their parents is
not a clear and stable issue.
Children who enter the U.S.
illegally with or without their
parents are at the heart of this
question.
Let’s begin with the 1954
U.S. Supreme Court decision
in Brown v. Board of Education,
where the court declared state
laws denying access to public
schools based on race to be
unconstitutional under the
Equal Protection clause:
Today education is per-
haps the most important
function of state and local
governments. Compulsory
school attendance laws and
the great expenditures for
education both demon-
strate our recognition of the
importance of education to
our democratic society. It
cratic system of government
and . . . the primary vehicle
for transmitting the values on
which our society rests. . . . In
sum, education has a funda-
mental role in maintaining
the fabric of our society.”
The Court noted that, if
the state intends to deny such
a benefi t, it should have a
suffi ciently valid reason. The
Court found that denying
children an education, not
due to their own actions, but
the actions of their parents,
was not suffi ciently compel-
ling to deny children this
important public benefi t.
In Martinez v. Bynum, 461
U.S. 321 (1983), the U.S.
Supreme Court ruled (8 -1)
on another Texas statute
intended to close the school-
house doors to nonresident
children. The student was
a U.S. citizen by birth. But,
when he was a young child,
he and his parents moved to
Mexico, where his parents
were citiz.
Swanson Vs Guthrie
This case involves a homeschooled student, Annie Swanson, whose parents wanted her to take some classes, like foreign language and science, at the local public school. The school district had a policy that students must attend full-time. When the new superintendent took over, he refused to let Annie attend part-time. Her parents sued alleging constitutional violations. The court sided with the school district, finding that parents do not have a constitutional right to pick and choose which classes their children take at public schools. The district has discretion over curriculum and resource allocation.
Week 2 visual student rights
The plaintiff was an eighth grade student who created a website at home that contained profane and threatening statements about her teacher. She was suspended from school as a result. The main issue in the case was whether the school could discipline her for off-campus speech. The court ruled that the school could discipline her because the website was aimed at the school community and foreseeably spread in the school, disrupting school activities. The court found that the school's actions did not violate the student's first amendment rights.

This document discusses two court cases related to the education of children with disabilities. The first case establishes that a free appropriate public education under IDEA requires that students receive some educational benefit, but does not require schools to maximize a child's potential. The second case examines whether a child with autism should be educated in a regular classroom or a separate classroom for children with autism. The court ultimately ruled that the school district did not take enough steps to include the child in the regular classroom.

Essay About Brown V. Board Of Education
Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional. The case began the process of desegregating American schools and stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." It arose from five separate cases challenging racial segregation in public schools. The case overturned the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision that allowed "separate but equal" facilities for black and white Americans. Brown v. Board had a profound impact on dismantling racial segregation in the United States.
Serrano V. Priest and Educational Equalization in California
The document summarizes the Serrano v. Priest case which challenged California's school funding system on equal protection grounds. It discusses key precedents like Brown v. Board of Education which found segregated schools unconstitutional. California relied heavily on local property taxes to fund schools, resulting in disparities between wealthy and poor districts. Serrano v. Priest argued this violated equal protection by providing unequal educational opportunities. The California Supreme Court agreed and found the system unconstitutional in Serrano I, requiring the state to equalize school funding.

Brown vs board of education
This document summarizes the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) which ruled that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. The Court found that segregating children in public schools solely based on race, even if the physical facilities and other tangible factors are equal, deprives minority children of equal educational opportunities. The Court rejected the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson, finding that separating minority children from others of similar age and qualifications solely due to their race generates feelings of inferiority that affect their motivation to learn and their educational and mental development.

Activity Ratios for Columbus Regional Hospital
Columbus Regional Hospital is one of the established healthcare facilities in Indiana State.

Context
Recent technologies employed in the study of the brain regions regulating speech are helping scientists better understand the neural basis of human behaviors interacting with the world. For example, MRI imaging studies are revealing other areas within the brain that may also play a role in language and reading. Another example is that both Broca's and Wernicke's areas are fundamental to speech ability, but the specific mechanism of how each plays into oral language is still unclear. This is still a new area that challenges psychologists, neurologists, and speech therapists.
Humans use different parts of their brain to discriminate objects from people. In fact, we may have specialized neurons for recognizing faces. This relates to the main theme of this assessment: vision and visual perception. Many questions about human vision are unanswered. For example, different areas of the brain respond differently to visual recognition tasks, but how and why these areas cooperate to process visual information remains unclear. Another example: The visual cortex contains several layers, the functional roles of which are the subject of intense investigation. Questions include, .

the story of options and the development of the Black-Scholes formul.docx
the story of options and the development of the Black-Scholes formula is intertwined with the story of international financial markets and investment and global financial crisis. Although B-S was originally developed for pricing stock options, the formula that we have been using in class for currency options is virtually identical. Specifically, except for the Tr e − * term that discounts by the foreign interest rate, and of course the fact that the underlying asset is a foreign currency rather than a share of stock, the formulas are exactly the same. In addition to the development of the B-S formula, the video brings together many concepts that we have seen in class this semester, including (in no particular order): - Replicating portfolio and no-arbitrage pricing - Market efficiency vs. forecasting - Statistical methods for characterizing returns and measuring risk - Risk transfer role of derivatives and hedging - Derivatives trading and exchanges - International capital flows and investment - Currency crisis and contagion Besides these, the video also gives a great glimpse into the world of academic finance, the inner workings of financial markets and institutions, and the nature of financial crises. While you are watching, note the similarity between what got us into trouble back then and what got us into trouble today (e.g., excessive debt/leverage to fuel a property boom, underassessment of risk and/or overconfidence in our ability to deal with risk, government bailouts, etc.).
Choose any five (5) of the bullet points above and discuss the topic further by describing what we learned in class about the topic and linking it to specific parts of the video in which it is mentioned or occurs. A two to three paragraph discussion for each point should suffice, totaling 2-3 pages single spaced for he entire assignment

The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, t.docx
The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital.
The first measure taken by
Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action.
Write a four-to six-page double-spaced paper (excluding title and reference pages), addressing the following:
Describe types of conflict identified in this case.
Explain conflict management styles evidenced in this case.
Propose a conflict resolution strategy to be used.
Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities.
Including an introduction and conclusion paragraph, your paper must be four to six double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. Utilize a minimum of three scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources, including the textbook, that were published within the last five years.

The sound fixing and ranging layer in the ocean, or the SOFAR ch.docx
The sound fixing and ranging layer in the ocean, or the
SOFAR
channel, is at a depth where the sound waves bend towards a region of minimum sound velocity due to refraction. This
channeling
of sound occurs because of the properties of sound and the temperature, and pressure differences at different depths in the ocean. There are many places where the sound waves can travel many thousands of meters without the signal losing significant energy. Keep in mind that the depth of the
SOFAR
channel varies with latitude. It is deepest in the subtropics and comes to the surface in high latitudes, where the sound propagates in the surface layer.
Humans have taken advantage of this layer in many ways. One such use was the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) project. The
U.S.
Navy has an array of hydrophones, which were used in the past for deep ocean surveillance during the cold war, but have since been used for seismic monitoring, marine mammal monitoring, and for the
ATOC
project. In addition, before
GPS
, the
SOFAR
channel was used for locating ships and aircraft in distress as well as for tracking floats for the study of ocean currents. The use of the
SOFAR
channel is not without controversy.
Respond to the following:
Research the use of the
SOFAR
channel for military, research, and biological activities.
Discuss why the use of
SOFAR
channel could be harmful to marine life. Be specific in your examples.

The Right to EducationIn the case of San Antonio Independent .docx
- 1. The Right to Education? In the case of San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodrigues (1973), the Supreme Court rejected a claim that education is a fundamental right. Therefore, litigants have since turned to the state courts and constitutions to address inequalities in education. •Consider the following case: Cassidy Nance has filed suit in Florida state court arguing her granddaughter is being denied an adequate education. Specifically, she argues the school is inadequate to meet the needs of the students. Cassidy's granddaughter Beth lives in a rural town where there are few taxpayers to help fund the school. Classes are currently being held in a modular unit without air conditioning and appropriate space for the students. Cassidy's attorneys are arguing that education is a fundamental right and that the State of Florida is denying Beth this right by not providing her the tools necessary to receive that education. •Assume you are a justice on the Florida Supreme Court and have been charged by the Chief Justice to draft the majority opinion. Using other resources provided to you as a guide, write a four-page opinion as to whether there is a fundamental right to education in Florida. In the opinion, be sure to discuss fundamental rights in general and your position based on these sources.
