School Funding

The majority of school funds come from property taxes.This causes a problem because a majority of states ignore additional funding to high-poverty districts. Another issue with school funding is that ther is no additional funding in teacher compensation. Teacher compensation is based on a teachers performance in a classroom.

States use a combination of income taxes, corporate taxes, and sales taxes to finance schools.

School Funding

The key to a succesful school is proper resources, and that requires a lot of money.

In Georgia schools receive federal, state and local funds to pay foreducation.

A fair funding system should provide levels of funding based on the student needs.
