Debate over Texas school funding reaches Texas Supreme Court
The Texas Supreme Court hears arguments on the 1993 school finance law amid claims of unequal funding between property rich and property poor districts. Lawmakers defend the measure as fair, while critics cite gaps that favor high wealth districts and argue the plan functions as a state property tax. The case marks a fourth review since 1989, with lower courts upholding parts of the law.
