school district

A school district is a specific geographic area that oversees public education for the students living there. It is managed by a local school board and a superintendent who make decisions about school policies, budgets, and curriculum. The district is responsible for operating public schools within its boundaries, ensuring they meet state education standards. Funding primarily comes from local property taxes, state aid, and federal funds. Essentially, a school district acts as the local authority that organizes, supports, and maintains public schools to provide education to the community's children.
