Houston ISD LYNN MOAK, Moak, Casey & Associates KEVIN BRADY, North Carolina State University Texas is facing constitutional challenges from numerous parties who seek to litigate the adequacy of the state funding formula. These challenges are not new; Texas has been a bellwether of school finance litigation since the 1970s. As such, it behooves scholars and policymakers to understand the dynamics of the current legal and school finance developments in Texas not only on their own, but as markers of larger national tensions between economic downturn, increases expectations of academic productivity, and timeless values such as equity, efficiency, and liberty. The panel will examine the Texas context from multiple perspectives.

Concurrent Session I. Wednesday, May 2; 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

1.1 Symposium- Emerging Policy and Finance Considerations in Choice Among Public and Nonpublic Schools Room: Live Oak Vouchers and charters are perhaps the most recognized buzzwords in the education marketplace. Advocates assert that the quality of education will improve when consumers have greater access to, and choice among, schooling alternatives within the public school system and between public and private providers. Along with this assertion is the implied belief that costs of education will decrease as quality increases. Market forces will enjoin competition to force weaker schools to improve quality while stronger schools will need to reduce their prices in the marketplace. All schools, traditional and alternative, will compete for pupil enrollment and the dollars that follow. Schools that cannot compete will wither and eventually close, and ultimately the education system will improve---and cost less money---so the theory goes. This symposium explores legal, political and financial aspects of policies that direct public dollars to nonpublic schools through vouchers and expand choice through charter, virtual and other public school alternatives.

Participants: RICHARD A. KING, University of South Florida, Sarasota-Manatee, When Courts Open Voucher Doors, Governors and Legislatures Push Policy Through LENFORD C.

Concurrent Session II. Thursday, May 3; 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.

2.1 Symposium- Texas School Finance Litigation: Round 6 Room: Live Oak The Texas constitution calls upon the Legislature to make suitable provision for an efficient system of public free schools providing a general diffusion of knowledge. The Texas Supreme Court has heard five cases in the last 25 years on the issue of state constitutionality of the public education system, approving the system only once. Today the system is facing institutionalized inequity, rising standards, budget cuts, and a failure to provide a rational system. This symposium will address the latest round of litigation, now in its formative stages. Issues of student and taxpayer equity, adequacy, rationality, and meaningful enrichment discretion will be addressed. This session will address the current status of the case, the state of research undertaken and the political environment. The discussion will feature involved lawyer(s) for the plaintiffs, a key state legislator, and other interested parties.

4.1 Symposium- Research Evidence and Education Finance in the Context of Anti-Immigrant Politics: Securing the Education Rights of Immigrant Students Room: Live Oak Recent immigration legislation, court cases and related policies have garnered national attention (i.e. SB 1070). However, these are merely the latest in a string of policies enacted by state legislatures across the country that are impacting immigrants’ youth and communities. We have come to realize that financing the educational challenges faced by Latino ELL and immigrant students is critical. The impacts of these policies are multi-,dimensional in nature. This symposium will provide a much needed opportunity to consider the social, educational, and economic impact of state policies. Experts from education, finance, policy studies and other relevant areas will discuss ways to assess the “on the ground” impacts related to these recent policies. This symposium is comprised of commissioned papers funded by the Carnegie Corporation. Participants:

Concurrent Session V. Thursday, May 3; 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

5.1 Symposium-A New Model of Cooperation Room: Live Oak The world of education is experiencing enormous pressures; falling test scores, widening academic achievement gap, declining enrollment and dwindling budgets to name a few. The magnitude of challenges facing many school systems today is daunting and often disheartening. Educational systems today cannot successfully meet these challenges alone. The solution may not be to retreat and build a stronger fortress but rather to open education to a passionate attitude of cooperation and coordination. Successful school systems are continually expected to achieve better results with fewer resources. Sharing resources, expertise and opportunities with both civic entities and private businesses alike may be one way to be more efficient and more effective in the delivery of education. There are numerous stakeholders within each community that directly and indirectly impact the successful formation of the next generation of leaders. Some roles are more obvious than others, but all play an important part in the holistic development of present day learners. It is imperative for all of these organizations to carefully and strategically align their efforts in order to best meet the needs of learners of all ages. In lieu of each isolated group doing what each thinks is appropriate and best, school systems must forge stronger alliances with these organizations and break down any internal barriers that might exist to create a truly cooperative and coordinated structure. This session will highlight the efforts of one Midwest school district and also provide numerous ideas of how public and private entities are working together currently to educate the youth of their communities and challenge participants to develop other ideas that are specific to their communities.

Concurrent Session VI. Friday, May 4; 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.

6.1 Symposium A Look at Two Business Leaders' Views on Educational Reform Room: Live Oak The authors of these books, Tom Peters (Re-imagine), and Clayton Christensen, Michael Horn and Curtis Johnson (Disrupting Class), believe that a different type of educational reform is necessary for America to stay competitive, academically, economically and technologically. They espouse a re-thinking of our understanding of intelligence, re-evaluation of our educational system and re-invigoration of our commitment to learning by rejecting the notions of reform that is more of the same. These business leaders believe that more testing, more standards, more uniformity, more conformity and more bureaucracy is not the answer. They desire a system that recognizes learning as natural, that a love of learning is normal and real learning is passionate learning. The symposium session would introduce some of the concepts from the authors and their books and provide a forum for a discussion on the concepts and how they may or may not be viable for the educational community. The discussion will include what the response from educational leaders might be to the views and how we can begin to implement the portions of their concepts that have value. Participant:
