If the taxpayers in a school district are willing to provide additional funding through higher taxes, then by all means they should be allowed to keep the money. It shows that those school ditricts are willing to put their money where their mouth is. PCSSD didn't mind getting far more than their share for decades in the name of desegregation, and fought very hard to continue getting more than their share after the courts ruled it to end.

Let's see, you fraudulently take money that does not belong to you and the Arkansas Supreme Court rules that you can keep it? That, by any other name, is known as "EMBEZZLEMENT". The supporting members of the court should be immediately removed from duty as "Aiding & Abetting a crime" against the Citizen's Of the State Of Arkansas. The money should, at the very least, be returned to the tax payers.
