State Representative Drew Darby is charging the Texas public school financing system with being inherently unequal and unfair. This after a coalition of 150 school districts filed a suit claiming the system is unconstitutional. Darby telling the San Angelo Chamber of Commerce he unnderstands the issue and supports the action. That's good new for the San Angelo Independent School District which regulalry ranks in the bottom 20 percent of school districts in the amount of per-student funding it receives from the state. District officials say they're considering joining either that lawsuit -- which was filed by the Equity Center, an Austin-based non-profit group -- or another being filed on behalf of the Texas School Alliance, which is made up of about 60 of the largest school districts in the state.
