\"\"<\/a>JAMESTOWN – Jamestown Public Schools<\/strong> received some good news in court on Thursday.<\/p>\n

A state appeals court unanimously reversed a trial judge\u2019s 2016 ruling that had dismissed the Maisto v. New York<\/em><\/strong> case<\/a>, which is also known as the small cities lawsuit that accused the state of under-funding eight school districts in small cities, including Jamestown.<\/p>\n

At issue is state funding, which the small schools argue falls short of what they need to provide the sound, basic education guaranteed by the state constitution.<\/p>\n

Last fall, Albany County State Supreme Court Justice Kimberly O\u2019Connor<\/strong> had ruled against the schools without considering the evidence they supplied that the state had failed to provide adequate financial aid.<\/p>\n

The appeals course on Thursday sends the case back to trial court for review of evidence presented, but not considered, during the trial, including resource deficiencies, student performance, and outcomes.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs in the Maisto case are parents and students from Jamestown, Utica, Kingston, Mount Vernon, Newburgh, Niagara Falls, Port Jervis and Poughkeepsie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
