In a lawsuit filed by the New York State United Teachers union contends that the 2011 law “locks in and perpetuates funding inequities between affluent and low-wealth school districts.”

NYSUT’s president said that in challenging the constitutionality of the tax cap, the union is fighting for the right of citizens, through local control of their schools, to determine for themselves how much they want to spend on their own community’s schools.

NYSUT lawyers filed their suit in Supreme Court in Albany County Wednesday morning.
