A lawsuit is underway in an effort to change Texas' school finance system, which has been a subject of controversy. The system was originally intended to create a more equal financial situation among school districts. The goal of the system is to balance the financial resources of districts with varying abilities to generate revenue from local property taxes.

This is meant to help level the playing field between districts with different financial capacities. Further information on the lawsuit and the school finance system can be found in the Denton Record-Chronicle, which has reported on the issue and the efforts to reform it.
