The Supreme Court agreed with the plaintiffs' argument that the system is unconstitutional because so many school districts are forced to tax property owners at the maximum limit of $1.50 per $100 in property value Heck I just looked at my Spring ISD tax bill and I am taxed at 1.95 per hundred. I would like to know where that 1.5 per hundred listed in the article comes from.

It's a bit confusing tho' - the max rate that a school district can tax at is 2%, 1.5% for general operations (which is what is always mentioned) and 0.5% for debt service (which is not in play.)

Our taxes have almost doubled in the last three years. What happened to the lottery paying for education here in Texas???? :(
