Cy-Fair ISD is involved in one of several statewide school finance lawsuits to address inequities in the state's funding system. More than 70 districts are part of the Fort Bend ISD vs. Robert Scott suit, led by Thompson and Horton, LLP.
"The outcome needs to be a system that adequately and equitably funds our high standards," said David Thompson. "That's probably going to mean the state putting back into the system most of the money they cut out."
Combined with the other school finance lawsuits, more than 60 percent of the state's school districts are challenging the Texas educational finance system. The case is expected to be taken to court by the fall.
