TISD Joined Class-Action Lawsuit

TYLER — Tyler ISD voted to join a class-action lawsuit against the state during their regularly scheduled school board meeting on Thursday night. School officials tell KETK, the vote was unanimous, 6-0, with one member not present. Tyler now joins several East Texas school districts, and hundreds of others from across the state, that are a part of the lawsuit. The lawsuit is a challenge to the Texas funding system for public schools. Supporters of the lawsuit are hoping it will bring more equality to the way funding is distributed to schools. East Texas school districts already involved in the lawsuit include Diboll ISD, Lufkin ISD and Union Grove ISD.
