Class action status has been granted to the October 2000 lawsuit filed against Pinellas County schools on behalf of 21,000 current students and all black children who will attend the county's public schools in the future. The suit alleges that the schools are failing to adequately educate black students, and claims that the district has failed to narrow the achievement gap between black and white students, which is a violation of the state Constitution's equal protection clause. Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge James Case stated in his ruling that the plaintiffs "have cited an overabundance of statistical evidence indicating that black students are achieving far below white students in every category."
