Supreme Court approves local property taxes for school funding
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that local property taxes may finance public schools, rejecting a claim that the Texas system violated equal protection. Justice Powell said education is not an explicit constitutional right and called for legislative reform to address tax-system reliance. The challenge was brought by Demetrio P. Rodriguez and 14 Mexican-American parents.

Administration Secretary Nusbaum said opponents will cite the ruling to oppose the governor’s proposal.
