The restrictions of State constitutional provisions on the use of public funds for parochial schools and the interplay between State constitutional provisions and the First Amendment dominated issues of school finance. Other prominent issues included the extent to which public funds can support auxiliary services and the effect of State constitutions and the First Amendment on Title I disbursements for disadvantaged students in public and private schools. This chapter includes analyses of cases dealing with school district taxing power, the financial impact of school district reorganization, and State allocations of funds to local districts. The cases discussed are those of general interest; no attempt has been made to discuss every decision in school finance. (Author/DW)
