School Funding Inequality

School funding inequality refers to the unequal distribution of financial resources among public schools, often based on local property taxes. Wealthier areas generate more revenue because property values are higher, enabling better facilities, resources, and programs. Conversely, schools in less affluent neighborhoods receive less funding, limiting their capacity to offer quality education. This results in disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes, perpetuating socioeconomic inequalities. Addressing funding inequality involves finding equitable ways to allocate resources so all students have access to a high-quality education regardless of where they live.
