§ 42.001. STATE POLICY. (a) It is the policy of this
state that the provision of public education is a state
responsibility and that a thorough and efficient system be provided
and substantially financed through state revenue sources so that
each student enrolled in the public school system shall have access
to programs and services that are appropriate to the student's
educational needs and that are substantially equal to those
available to any similar student, notwithstanding varying local
economic factors.
(b) The public school finance system of this state shall
adhere to a standard of neutrality that provides for substantially
equal access to similar revenue per student at similar tax effort,
considering all state and local tax revenues of districts after
acknowledging all legitimate student and district cost
differences.
Added by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 260, § 1, eff. May 30, 1995.
