Retiring House Public Ed Chairman predicts an even longer road for school finance case
Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock expects the pending school finance case to be remanded back to the district court rather than settled by the Texas Supreme Court

House Public Education Committee
Chair Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock, in a rare appearance since he announced his
retirement, said he expects the pending school finance cases to be remanded
back to the district court rather than settled by the Texas Supreme Court.
Aycock, the well-regarded retiring
chairman, spoke to TASB’s School Board Advisory Network.
Aycock said he had discussed the case briefly with
the governor over the weekend.
“His
best guess, which is my best guess, is that the case will be remanded back to
the District
Court,” Aycock said. “For about a year, I
thought there was a high probability of that. So, it goes on and on.”
