Abstract | Keller (2004) stated, "After a decade of relative calm, school finance is again at the top of the Texas legislative agenda" (p. 93). Not only is it at the top of the agenda, it is the "talk of the town" due mainly to the latest court decision declaring the Texas Public School Funding Mechanism unconstitutional and the funding shortages in the K-16 educational system. This article will address the current state of school finance in Texas. Through a review of the background of the Texas funding system, past and present, a presentation of the two different thoughts on a purposeful approach in dealing with the problems and issues associated with proposed changes in the manner in which the state of Texas funds its schools, and some observations relating to the solutions to many of these issues in the funding system, this article will guide the reader through the maze of educational funding.
