You are the education consultant on the legal team that has successfully argued and won the Serrano
Question:
You are the education consultant on the legal team that has successfully argued and won the Serrano v. Priest California court case. You are now working with the same legal team in the San Antonio ISD v. Rodriguez court case in Texas. You believe that the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn the Texas Supreme Court’s decision that declared the Texas model of education funding unconstitutional under the Equal Protection clause unless you can make a more compelling case. If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the state Supreme Court, this means that the quality of education should not be based on a state’s wealth. Instead, education funding should be based on the locality’s wealth. Give a strong legal argument that you will make to persuade the court that education should be based on the state’s overall wealth capacity rather than the localities’ disparate wealth.
