Texas Supreme Court rules state funds may go to all public schools
The Texas Supreme Court on Wednesday held that state funds may be paid to public schools regardless of segregation. It also struck down a constitutional provision for separate schools and part of the Gilmer-Aikin financing law as unconstitutional, while stressing integration is not yet immediate nationwide. The ruling sustains a Big Spring trial court decision and cites the U.S. Supreme Court integration decision as guiding Texas law. Attorney General John Ben Sheppard said the ruling settles state law on a broad basis but district-by-district timing remains.
