Ruling revives school finance issue,
gives legislators year to reform system
scrapped last year by the Texas)
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
school finance system is still uncon
stitutional despite lawmakers’ efforts
to reform it, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Gov. Bill Clements said the state
would appeal.
State District Judge Scott McGown
said the $14 billion-a-year system
doesn’t give all schools “substantially
equal” access to funds for a similar
tax effort.
McGown gave lawmakers another
year to change the school finance
system, which relies on state aid, lo
cal property taxes and some federal
money. The current system will re
main in place this school year.
“In short, what the rich districts
spend creates educational opportu
nities for their children that are den
ied the children of poor districts,”
McGown said.
“Under Senate Bill 1 (the reform
plan), the rich districts are left rich,
the poor districts poor,” he said.
“I don’t agree with his (McCown’s)
judgment at all,” Clements said.
“He’s a young judge. Perhaps the
Supreme Court in its review will re
consider that opinion.”
State Education Commissioner
W.N. Kirby said McCown’s 52-page
opinion doesn’t give Texas enough
direction on how to fix the system.
Attorney General Jim Mattox said
he hasn’t decided whether to appeal,
but he agreed with Kirby that the
court’s ruling “offers us no real
guidelines.”
Mattox said he would talk to other
lawyers in the case and the Texas
Education Agency before deciding
whether to appeal. Kirby said he
would ask Mattox to appeal the rul
ing.
“It’s a big decision for us, because
if we’re not careful, we can be put
back in the same kind of posture that
we have been in the past, where the
Legislature can use the excuse of not
having a final order before they start
really trying to adopt a new plan,”
said Mattox, a Democrat who leaves
office in January.
Rick Gray, a lawyer for poor
school districts that challenged the
school funding system, applauded
McCown’s ruling. He said the judge
did “a very exhaustive, thorough
analysis.”
“Under Senate Bill 1
(the reform plan), the
rich districts are left
rich, the poor districts
poor”
— Scott McGown
State District judge
“We think it’s a great day for all
school children and we hope the
Legislature will set about the task of
fixing the system in the future,”
Gray said.
The school finance plan was
adopted by the Legislature in June.
Lawmakers raised taxes to add
$528 million for public schools in
1990-91, calling it the first step to
achieving equity. The legislature also
made other reforms, which backers
said would improve education, that
were not addressed by McCown’s
ruling.
But poor school districts chal
lenged the plan. They argued that it
is no different from the old system
preme Court on a 9-0 vote.
A H ouse Public Education Cmi
mittee member blamed Clementsf#
blocking an alternative financeplif
which the lawmaker said poorscp
districts would have accepted.Cle®
ents killed that proposal by vetoiii
taxes needed to pay for it.
“It’s entirely because of G#
Clements’ foot-dragging and theRf
publican legislators who upheld li
veto that we’re back in the com
again,” Rep. Paul Colbert, D-Hotf
ton, said. “ And we’re literallyaW
to turn over the keys of the schod
room to the courts.”
Clements said he wasn’t surpriss
at Colbert’s remarks, but decli® 1
further comment. Aides said Clem
ents, who leaves office in JanuaF
isn’t considering calling anotherf
cial session on school finance.
McGown said he has “more hop
for the leadership and ability”oft :
next Legislature and governor,to!
elected in November.
The judge said if the Legislatm
fails to devise a constitutional sch®
finance plan by Sept. 1, 1991, d
would consider stopping the spew
ing of state and local tax money, 1
ordering how the state shouldspe®
school funds.
Education Commissioner P
noted lawmakers will be looking
budget shortages for state servR 1
when they convene in regular *
sion in January. That means a m
school finance plan could put in R
money than the current one, hes)<
He said that after McCown’sdf 1
