School Financing Reform
 

WHEREAS, the governor of the great state of Texas has called the Texas legislature into special session to address the issue of school finance; and 

WHEREAS, a sales tax increase served to overburden people who are least able to afford tax increases; and 

WHEREAS, an incentive plan prepared by the governor will give schools with greater needs less of an opportunity to receive increase funding; and 

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that LULAC opposes regressive sales tax increases and any type of incentive program that discriminates unfairly against those most in need; and 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that LULAC advocates for a fiscal plan that provides for equity in funding and academic opportunity for all Texas Youth.
