Supreme Court to Rule on State School Funding System
The Supreme Court agreed to hear Rodriguez v San Antonio Independent School District, challenging property tax based school financing in all states except Hawaii. Texas appeals a district court ruling that the system is unconstitutional and discriminates against poorer districts, with support and opposition from various governors and states. The decision could rival Brown v Board in impact. The court also addressed FCC authority over cable origination, rail freight car rules, and Connecticut attorney admission requirements.
