K-12 Education Funding

K-12 education funding refers to the money allocated to public primary and secondary schools (kindergarten through 12th grade). This funding comes from various sources, primarily local property taxes, state budgets, and federal assistance. It is used to pay for teachers, staff, textbooks, facilities, and programs that support student learning. Funding levels can vary widely depending on the region, impacting school resources and educational quality. Ensuring adequate and equitable funding is essential for providing all students with access to quality education, regardless of their geographic or socioeconomic background.
