“Fairness in education is directly related to opportunities provided, meaning that all students should have the same basic opportunities to develop their skills. In practice, fairness is also directly related to the way education is funded, most commonly through property taxes. This is true in San Antonio. The problem is that the funding base differs from school district to school district based on property values in that district. This means that areas with higher property values produce more revenue, while poorer districts produce less. The schools in poorer districts therefore suffer from underfunding, while wealthier districts have more than enough money to support education.”
