I have to agree with The Record on this: It is time for the state Supreme Court to show some deference to the governor and state Legislature before it rules on the constitutionality of the state’s new school funding plan.
I have my criticisms of the plan — I think more money should have been appropriated and distributed more widely, both to improve the state’s schools and to lower local property tax bills. But I also think this plan is likely to be an improvement over what was in place.
Until it can be shown that it will create a negative impact on the urban schools covered by the Abbott v. Burke rulings, I can’t see how it can’t pass constitutional muster.
