EDGEWOOD INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT V. KIRBY
777 S.W. 2d 391 (1989)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Edgewood (P), school districts, children enrolled in those districts,
and parents, sought review of an order of an appeals court, which reversed a trial court
judgment in favor of Ps declaring that Texas's school financing system violated Texas Const.
art. I, 3 and 19, and art. VII, 1, and entered judgment for Kirby (D), state officials.
FACTS: Because of disparities between district property wealth in Texas, spending per
student on elementary schools varied from $2,112 to $19,333. Under the existing system an
average of $2,000 per year more is spent on the 150,000 wealthiest students than is spent on
the poorest 150,000. There is no doubt that money has an impact on the quality of elementary
education. The Texas Constitution made it the duty of the Legislature to make suitable
provision for an efficient system for the essential purpose of a general diffusion of
knowledge.
