Abstract	In the educational finance litigation context, recent actions have been premised on the argument that the aid distribution system is fiscally inadequate, thus drawing attention away from a concern for equity. The financing of public education in North Carolina and the constitutional provisions undergirding the same have been the subject of litigation for more than 130 years. "Leandro" clearly holds that "all" children are entitled to the equal opportunity to obtain a sound basic education consistent with their individual abilities, to and including a sound basic education sufficient: (1) to be prepared at the end of high school to be able to enter the workforce and obtain meaningful employment; (2) to be prepared to attend a vocational/technical school and succeed academically; or (3) to be prepared to attend a college or university and at the end of each, to be able to compete with others on an equal basis in higher education or gainful employment. This article discusses how the "Leandro" doctrine has been applied in the educational litigation context. (Contains 218 footnotes.) (ERIC).
