Constitutional Intent: "System,""Common," and "Efficient" as Terms of Art.

Alexander, Kern; And Others

Journal of Education Finance, v15 n2 p142-62 Fall 1989

The Kentucky constitution's intent was to found a free system of common schools. Historically, local support for Kentucky public schools has left much to be desired. Taxpayer reluctance to support schools through local property taxation is exacerbated by state legislation overtly discouraging this approach. Efficiency is, therefore, impossible. (MLH)
