to the new funding system. The schools can use the existing suits as means to contest the new system, without having to go through the technicality of filing new suits, he decided. The Montana Rural Education Association, which represents 146 schools in one suit, already has reserved the right to do that. Chip Erdmann, a Helena attorney for the group, said Tuesday the schools will wait until they see how the new financing process works in the next year before deciding whether to go to court again. James Goetz, a Bozeman lawyer for the 65 schools in the other suit, said his clients have not yet decided whether to keep the groundwork in place for renewing their suit.

HELENA Two lawsuits against the state's old system of financing schools have been shelved but could be revived later as challenges to the new system. District Judge Jeffrey Sherlock of Helena declared the suits moot last Thursday, since the 1993 Legislature created a new process of providing state aid to schools. His reasoning was simple: The system attacked in the suits as unfair does not exist any more. But Sherlock stopped short of dismissing the complaints entirely. He agreed with the 211 school districts involved in the suits that some of the issues raised in the two cases may come up in any challenge I.IWi.HWlWll"TI".'lyJ-H.
