Constitutional Law--Taxation--Equal Education: A Public School Financing Proposal For West Virginia, Elba Gillenwater Jr., Gregory R. Gorrell

West Virginia Law Review

Public education is typically a state function. Yet in all states except Hawaii, primary responsibility and control have rested with the local school boards. These local boards have depended upon the property tax as a primary source of revenue. Recent judicial decisions have struck down some educational financing systems as being in violation of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. This note will discuss the constitutional issues raised by these decisions and present a statistical analysis of West Virginia's existing system. The purpose is to determine if these decisions are significant to West Virginia's method of funding public …

A Study Of Secondary School Students' Right To Free Expression As Granted By The First Amendment To The United States Constitution, Sharon Elain Wenzl Wright

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

The investigator studied the application of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution to secondary school students' right to free expression. The investigator examined landmark cases such as Tinker v Des Moines Independent Community School District in order to depict the historical development of extending constitutional rights to secondary school students.

The study encompasses both landmark cases (those cases involving highly significant decisions that established a precedent) and relevant cases which led to the present judicial posture regarding secondary students' right to free expression. Findings of the case study reveal the present judiciary standard to rest on the application …

Administrative Law—Scope Of Review: Review Court May Not Examine The Wisdom Of Local School Board Decision, But May Determine Whether Fundamental Rights Have Been Violated—Citizens Against Mandatory Bussing V. Palmason, 80 Wn.2d 445, 495 P.2d 657 (1972), Anon

Washington Law Review

Defendant, the Seattle School Board, attempted to implement a plan to desegregate the Seattle school system. The plan included the restructuring of school grade classifications in accordance with a "middle school" concept,' and mandatory reassignment of approximately 850 black and white sixth, seventh and eighth grade children from their "neighborhood schools"' to schools in other areas of the city. Mandatory bussing was not required, but bus transportation was to be available for those students who desired it. Plaintiffs, Citizens Against Mandatory Bussing (CAMB), obtained an injunction restraining implementation of the plan for one year. The basis for the injunction was …

Educational Financing, Equal Protection Of The Laws, And The Supreme Court, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Recently, state systems of financing public education have been overturned or seriously threatened by several state and federal court cases based on the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. Rodriguez v. San Antonio Independent School District, which invalidated the Texas system of educational financing, will be argued before the Supreme Court next term. This Comment will examine the doctrinal and policy problems that the Court will confront and the alternative solutions that are available to the Court when it considers the constitutionality of the Texas system, which is typical of the educational financing programs that have generated so …

Recent Developments, Law Review Staff

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the recent decision of Bradley v. School Board, a Virginia federal court ordered the consolidation of the predominantly black Richmond school district with the surrounding all-white suburban school districts of Henrico and Chesterfield Counties. This decision marks the first time that a court has consolidated two or more autonomous school districts for the purpose of achieving a racial balance in the schools that reflects the racial composition of the consolidated areas as a whole. While Judge Merhige in Bradley punctiliously followed the principles enunciated by the Supreme Court in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education and its earlier desegregation …

Serrano: Its Progeny And Its Prophecy, James T. Flaherty

Cleveland State Law Review

No court decision since the Brown' decrees of 1954 have had such a devastating effect on the educational status quo as has the California STATE AID PROPERTY Tax decision of Serran and its progeny. Here, the California Supreme Court declared that unequal financing of public schools, based primarily on the local property tax, is a violation of the equal protection clause in that it "invidiously discriminates" against the poor.

Parochiad And Prayer: A Perplexing Problem, William R. Fifner

Cleveland State Law Review

This paper is limited to a chronological examination of decisions of the United States Supreme Court involving aid to parochial education, an exploration of possible future aids, and inquiry into the question whether the extent of present aid and of possible future aid indicates that parochial schools and the general public are, or will be, on a collision course with respect to the free exercise of religion.

Ill Effects Of A Well-Intentioned Law: The Rights Of The Handicapped Overlooked, Robert L. Burgdorf

Journal Articles

Indiana's Public Law No. 162, which was signed into law in 1972, is an admirable achievement. The statute consolidated and clarified the procedures to be employed by schools in suspending, expelling or excluding students. The rights of students were closely guarded through the clear enumeration of the requirements of due process in this area. Written notice, a relatively formal hearing, the right to be represented by counsel, the right to cross-examine witnesses, a written decision and record of the proceedings, and an appeal procedure are all specifically mandated by the law whenever a child may be suspended, expelled or excluded. …

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1972 session of the General Assembly was especially active in the areas of wills, trusts, and estates. Much of this legislation deals with fine points not affecting the average lawyer in his practice. However, the following items of legislation should be of general interest to the attorney whose practice involves probate work or estate planning, even though he does not hold himself out as a specialist in these areas.
