Among the tasks before the State Legislature this session is to come up with a definition for educational adequacy.
Late last year, the State Supreme Court ruled that if lawmakers don't arrive at a definition by June 30th, the court might step in.
On Monday, Governor John Lynch announced he and legislative leaders want to use current school standards as a starting point.
Also on Monday the House and Senate Joint Task Force on Adequacy held the first of five public forums on the issue.
