The court system has been an increasingly important forum in the attempts to remedy the persistent achievement gaps in American education. In the past twenty years, school finance adequacy litigation has replaced desegregation as the most widely used legal strategy in these efforts. Despite the widespread use of adequacy litigation, few researchers have examined the link between adequacy lawsuits and student outcomes. This study analyzed the relationship between school finance adequacy litigation and academic proficiency, as measured by scores on the 2003 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The results showed that successful adequacy litigation had a small, significant, positive relationship with NAEP scores, but little differential benefit for students living in poverty or for children of color, with the exception of African American students. Therefore, this evidence suggests that adequacy litigation has had little impact on reducing the achievement gap, though it may have contributed to a small, across the board improvement in student outcomes.

This article examines the application of First Amendment principles to web sites that were created by students. Schools sometimes attempt to regulate the speech of students on such web sites by imposing disciplinary sanctions on the students who create the sites. The ability of schools to take such action depends on the interplay of a variety of factors, including the location at which web site was created (on or off campus), whether the web site was disseminated on campus, the extent to which the site caused disruption at the school, and the nature of the expression on the website. The article discusses the applicable case law and concludes with some practical guideline that can be applied by school administrators who find that they are considering disciplinary action against students with regard to student created web sites.

This article updates my 2007 paper that discussed the First Amendment rights of students to publish controversial web sites and the related power of public schools to police this form of student expression. The relevant cases decided over the past three years expand the discussion beyond student created web site to consider circumstances such as instant messaging icons and YouTube videos that depict the fantasy murder of teachers (Wisniewski v. Weedsport Central School District, 2007; O.Z. v. Long Beach Unified School District, 2008), a fake MySpace profile in which a “principal” implies that he’s a pedophiliac (J.S. v. Blue Mountain School District, 2010), and the removal of posters making reference to the web site of a conservative group (Bowler v. Town of Hudson, 2008). In addition, the United States Supreme Court, while still not having ruled on the specific topic of students and the internet, issued a fourth landmark case in the area of the First Amendment speech rights of students. This article again synthesizes the holdings of the relevant cases, points out issues about which the courts have disagreed, and provides updated guidance regarding how to determine whether student created web sites can be regulated by schools.
