School Funding Fairness

School funding fairness refers to the equitable distribution of financial resources to schools, ensuring that all students, regardless of their background or location, have access to quality education. In many areas, funding primarily comes from local property taxes, which can create significant disparities between wealthy and low-income neighborhoods. This can lead to unequal opportunities in educational facilities, teacher quality, and extracurricular programs. Advocates argue for reforms to promote fair funding practices that consider student needs, aiming to level the playing field so every child can thrive academically, regardless of their community's economic status.
