• W334678983 abstract "EVENTS on the state education scene have produced a blizzard of news activity over the summer. Yet coverage in the press has not been extensive. Education stories that in other years would have received national attention were relegated to the back pages as soap opera news moved to the front pages o newspapers and monopolized the talk show circuit. Three big school finance court decisions came down over the summer, all finding the state systems in question unconstitutional. Choice, open enrollment, charter schools, privatization, and voucher issues also chumed up a lot of interest and may signal some underlying themes for the November elections. In fact, the rapid approval of charter schools may also be sending a signal that will last well beyond the next election: the established, traditional order of things is being called to account and found wanting by a growing mix of outside forces. School Finance Litigation Over the summer, courts in New Jersey, Ohio, and Arizona ruled state K-12 funding systems unconstitutional. In New Jersey this latest state supreme court decision was the third time in 20 years that the system for distributing money to the 612 school districts has been struck down. Equity between affluent suburbs and blighted inner-city school districts is at the heart of the issue. In a state in which local control is the tradition, the courts said that the state was clearly responsible for the problem and for the solution. While the court did not set specific goals or guidelines, it did note that the spending of all the state's tax monies, whether raised at the state or local levels, should be authorized and controlled by the state. Currently, total spending in New Jersey on education exceeds $9,000 per student, one of the highest per-pupil expenditures in the country. Forty percent of this amount comes from state sources, 50% from local property taxes, and approximately 10% from federal sources. S6me of the low-spending districts are urban districts whose property tax pool is shrinking. Urban districts in New Jersey spend on the average $6,823 per pupil, while the wealthiest districts spend several thousand more per pupil. Meanwhile, Gov. Christine Todd Whitman hs promised a 30% cut in the state income tax, and, with large urban districts such,,as Newark getting as much as 74% of their funding from the state, more dollar relief for poor districts is going to be hard to find. In late July the Arizona supreme court reversed a decision of the lower court and ruled that the existing statutory scheme of funding schools was not in compliance with the constitutional provisions calling for a general and uniform public school system. As in many previous court cases that have been dictated by state constitutions, the judge ruled that dollar amounts to all school districts need not be equal but that gross not be overlooked. Commenting on the tensions between local control and state standards, Judge Stanley Goodfarb said that the disparities caused by local control were not the problem. Rather, he said, the state knew of the profound differences in property value among the districts and then selected a mechanism that could do nothing but produce disparities. In strong comments about the need for local control, the ruling said, Indeed, if citizens were not free to go above and beyond the state financial system to produce a school system that meets their needs, public education statewide would suffer. . . . There is nothing unconstitutional about creating school districts, there is nothing unconstitutional about relying on a property tax. But if together they produce a public school system that cannot be said to be and uniform throughout the state, then the laws chosen by the legislature to implement its Constitutional obligation fail in their purpose. In Ohio the decision turned on the fact that the state failed to provide a thorough and efficient system of common schools throughout the state. …" @default.
