Perry plan would shift state school funding fairness
Gov. Rick Perry proposes to end the Robin Hood system by letting 12 super wealthy districts keep local residential property tax revenue while the state pools and redistributes commercial property taxes. He says these 12 districts, under 2 percent of Texas students, would gain substantial funds yet aim to cover most of the state's children. The governor cites a Texas Supreme Court mandate for equitable school funding.
