school finance

School finance refers to the system of funding that supports public education. It involves the allocation of money from various sources, including local, state, and federal governments, as well as private donations and grants. These funds are used to pay for teachers' salaries, school infrastructure, educational materials, and programs. The distribution of resources often reflects community wealth, leading to disparities between school districts. Effective school finance aims to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students, addressing both funding challenges and educational needs to promote better learning outcomes.
