Gary D. Robertson, Associated Press — A North Carolina judge signaled Monday that he’s ready to formally demand legislators carry out a funding recipe to reduce public education inequities, saying he wouldn’t wait on a negotiated budget agreement between the governor and legislature before acting. Superior Court Judge David Lee told lawyers representing local school boards and children to offer within two weeks a proposed order that demands compliance with a remedial spending plan he endorsed earlier this year. After input by state government attorneys, Lee would act no sooner than Nov. 8.
