This publication examines 16 of the 18 basic educational issues identified in an earlier publication entitled, "Basic Issues in Texas Public School Finance: An Analysis of the Plans." Five major school finance bills pending before the Texas Legislature in April 1975 are discussed in relationship to each of the 16 issues, with cost information and analyses included where appropriate. The five school finance bills discussed include House Bill 420, House Bill 946, House Bill 1083, House Bill 1126, and House Bill 1715. Cost data cited in the discussions were taken from the official five-year cost estimates for each bill that were developed by the Texas Education Agency for the Legislative Budget Board. (Author/JG)
