The ultra conservative state legislators have been defunding public schools for years and years as part of a plan to turn over taxpayer owned property for free to ALEC HiGH PROFIT PRIVATIZED Fascist Influenced Koch private schools. Yes tax dollars will still be collected to fund this scam on taxpayers.
Unless you can tell me, within a variance of 2% (+/-) how much in class room funding is necessary to provide a first class education to students in the district where you live, you have no **** way of knowing if funding needs to be increased.
There is a school district near us with an "Academics Booster Club" raising money and giving it to the district administration. They get the exact same state funding as the district we live in and, even with the additional Booster Club money the district struggles to perform as well as districts without someone giving them additional money. Funding isn't always the problem...how the "powers that be" spend that funding is a bigger issue.
