What’s up for Wednesday/Page 6 Clements professes delight over ruling for finance reform AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clem ents, professing delight that the Texas Supreme Court left school fi nance reform in lawmakers’ laps, said Monday he will call a spring spe cial session on the issue. “I am extremely pleased that this is back in the hands of the Legis lature where it belongs,” Clements said after the Supreme Court unani mously declared the present system unconstitutional. The court gave the Legislature until May 1 to overhaul the current system, a decision hailed by poor dis tricts who say their students are cheated of an education equal to that provided in richer districts. The governor said he, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby and House Speaker Gib Lewis would appoint a special task force to conduct hearings across Texas and make recommendations before the special session on school finance. The cost of giving students in rich and poor districts an equal chance at quality education has been estimated by some at $1 billion a year, but Clements said more money is not necessarily the answer. “It could be that we maybe need more money, but money in itself is not the answer to public education,” he said. Lewis said the ruling is a clear message from the court “that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed regardless of where they live.” Hobby commended the court’s call for an efficient and productive education system, saying, “Our chil dren deserve no less.” Attorney Earl Luna of Dallas, who represents several districts that in tervened on the side of the state in the lawsuit, said he would probably file a motion for rehearing with the Supreme Court.
