We begin with a the Rio Grande Guardian tribute by Michele Angél: “Tributes have poured in from South Texas for Equity Center founder Craig Foster for the pivotal role he played in helping property-poor schools receive a fair share of state funding.
“Foster, whose encyclopedic grasp of school finance and the tax system was used extensively in court during the landmark Edgewood ISD v. Kirby lawsuit against the state, is credited with helping change the way the state of Texas funds its public schools.”
To study a problem, to know it well, to speak credibly about human inequities: the life of Craig Foster shows how these things do make history.
