School funding fight shapes Texas legislative session
In Austin the 1974 legislative session opens amid a fierce school finance debate. Governor, Hobby, Maury and Kubiak push to overhaul the Foundation School Program and replace the economic index with actual market value to measure district ability to pay. Proposals range from $495 million to $2 billion in increased state spending, with a $600 million gap over two years under weighted pupil funding.
