Schools In Crisis: Text Of Supreme Court Decision

The state Supreme Court order in which justices reclaimed control over the Lake View school funding case. PER CURIAM Because of noncompliance with our November 21, 2002, opinion of this court, we recall our mandate in this case forthwith. This court will appoint a master, whom we will name, and we will delineate his or her responsibilities by per curiam. Under Amendment 80, Section 2(E), this court has the power to issue and determine any and all writs necessary in aid of its jurisdiction and to delegate to its several justices the power to issue such writs. This court will consider and decide what remedy or writ is proper to assure compliance. Special Justice Carol Dalby joins. Justice Hanna concurs. Justice Imber not participating. CONCURRING OPINION Jim Hannah, Associate Justice Because this court certainly has jurisdiction to recall its mandate, and because it is apparent that a noncompliance hearing is going to be held, I concur. However, I do not see that it matters whether that hearing occurs at the circuit court level where the new action is currently pending or as a result of recalling the mandate. I am concerned about the precedent we may be setting. Posted by Mike Hellgren
