Book excerpt: In determining whether the school district equalization act (SDEA) denies equal protection under the federal or state constitutions, the standard to be applied is the rational basis test. School districts may experience diminishing general state aid by application of the SDEA formula and changing conditions. A legislative act which reduces this effect satisfies such a test, and therefor disparities in aid between districts do not deny equal protection under the federal or state constitutions. In addition, the legislature may direct how money may be spent in an appropriations bill.
