San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez case.
Texas public primary and secondary schools rely on local property taxes for supplemental income. These schools are designed to establish a minimum education threshold at each school. The San Antonio District in the representation of families residing in poor districts challenged this funding scheme by arguing that students were disadvantaged because their schools lacked the property used by other districts, and academic programs receiving government funding should favor all students equally.
Having already talked the facts of the San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, I would like to discuss how this has been another topic of much attention within the Department of Education of different districts. There is an article which refers to the government funds allocated to schools, it is called "A tale of Two Districts", which describes the history of two districts, the reforms of the schools, and how these reforms could destabilizing education programs. In this case, the author talks about two New Jersey’s districts: Newark and Montclair, describing the aspects of each one and the differences that exist between the public schools of these two cities.
