Texas keeps falling behind in education, and if we want to remain competitive with not only other states, but globally, our education system needs to catch up. In 2014, District Court Judge John Dietz found the Texas school finance system to be unconstitutional because it is not responsive to increasing standards, population growth in the state, or the educational needs of our students. Now the State Supreme Court is taking up the case. Join Chandra Villanueva of the Center for Public Policy Priorities and the American Constitution Society for a discussion about the right to a free public education and the constitutional questions raised by the inequality in resources available to certain Texas schools and students.

\n\nIf you need an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the event sponsor or the Texas Law Special Events Office at specialevents@law.utexas.edu no later than seven business days prior to the event. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
