Texas’ funding of public education earns the lowest marks in the nation #schoolfinancetrial #txed #AllMeansAll #FairFunding

Report shows that Texas’ funding of public education earns the lowest marks in the nation.

“As we wait for the Texas Supreme Court to issue its ruling soon in the largest school finance case in the state’s history, Texas Taxpayer and Student Fairness Coalition vs. Williams, these findings by the Education Law Center and Rutgers University emphasize why we cannot continue down this road of underfunding our schools,” said Dr. María “Cuca” Robledo Montecel, IDRA President & CEO.

The state’s low level of funding, unfair distribution of those resources, and failure to use a reasonable amount of its economic capacity to support its public schools earns Texas its status as the worst state in the United States.
