What did the Texas Supreme Court rule regarding the public education system in the Edgewood v. Kirby case? How did the "Robin Hood" law represent a response to the ruling? Did that law "solve" the problem of school finance reform? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?

An ideal response will:
1. Explain the Court's ruling that the inequitable finance system for public schools was unconstitutional because it did not meet the requirement for an efficient system of public education.
2. Explain the major provision of the Robin Hood law in terms of sharing property tax revenue.
3. Explain that concerns about inequities in public schools have not been eliminated and that there are still ongoing legal challenges to the finance system.
