The district sued Allegheny County and its executive, Sara Innamorato in April 2024.

The judge threw out the lawsuit on Thursday.

The decision was made because the judge did not believe the school district had the legal right to file the lawsuit.

The lawsuit came after Pittsburgh Public Schools lost millions of dollars in revenue due to successful reassessment appeals, largely by Downtown office buildings.

A countywide reassessment was last held in 2013.
