Senate passes
school finance
amendment
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Sen
ate passed a proposed constitutional
amendment Tuesday that would al
low the state to take local property
tax revenue from wealthy school dis
tricts and spend it in poor ones.
A school finance reform bill de
tailing how the money would be re
distributed was not immediately con
sidered by the Senate. The sponsor.
Sen. Carl Parker, said he planned to
bring it up Wednesday.
Senators also passed a second pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
eliminate the requirement that some
state money be sent to Texas school
districts on a per-pupil basis, regard
less of their wealth.
That money could be redistri
buted within the system, taking $44
million away from the 75 wealthiest
districts in 1992.
Both proposed constitutional
amendments, passed 22-6, are in re
sponse to a Texas Supreme Court
order to equitably fund poor school
districts.

students and parents are criticizing

half of them students, issued a col
lective moan and several yelled “cop-
out” when the board voted 5-1 Mon
day to wait for legislative action be
fore deciding the matter.

only board member voting against
the action, taken before Boerne
High School juniors Will Suttle and
Paul Mann were allowed to present
