This chapter summarizes recent state supreme court and federal court decisions related to the area of school finance. The cases discussed are generally limited to those decided during 1975 and reported in the General Digest as of March 1976. In their discussion, the authors attempt to integrate related cases and to illuminate any unifying legal principles that underlie the decisions relevant to each specific subtopic of school finance. Separate sections of the article focus in turn on cases involving public funds for private schools, allocation of school funds, administration of school funds, and school tax issues. (JG)
