Most Recent Fights for Fair Funding of Texas Schools

by  MORGAN CRAVEN, J.D., DR. ALBERT CORTEZ, AL KAUFFMAN, J.D. - Intercultural Development Research Association | Pub: 10/24

After a little over a decade of relatively fair funding in Texas, policymakers adopted changes in 2005 that re-inserted new inequitable features into the system, and the state started to reduce its share of school funding. In this second of four episodes on school finance, Morgan Craven, J.D., IDRA national director of policy, talks with two other school finance experts: Dr. Albert Cortez, who led IDRA’s policy work and served as an expert witness in numerous school finance trials until his retirement in 2015, and Al Kauffman, J.D., who was the lead litigator for MALDEF and now is a professor at St. Mary’s Law School.
