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

Texas 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.”
