The Legislature in 1991 decided that a committee of parents and teachers should run each campus. Fortunately, the language in the law books has little to do with what goes on in a classroom. What that someone wants is to transfer money and power from one group to another. In the case of school districts, it was from the property owners in the richer districts to the school children in the poorer districts. Needless to say, this idea wasn't popular.
Most people locate themselves nearest the best schools they can afford.
They take poorly to the idea of having their property tax dollars subsidize a child in, say, South San Antonio. From the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Rodriguez v. San Antonio ISD in 1973 to the 1995 Texas Supreme Court ruling that the finance system passed constitutional muster, efforts have been made to arrive at some equity in the amount available to educate each student. The system isn't perfect, partly because it will eventually result in most larger districts being ineligible for state assistance, but it satisfies the courts for the moment. In a century and a half of history, Texans have demonstrated that they are willing to do almost anything for public education except pay for it. Despite biennial increases in state education appropriations, local taxpayers still pay more than half of the cost of education.
