school funding inequities

School funding inequities occur because public schools mostly rely on local property taxes for funding. Wealthier neighborhoods have higher property values, generating more money for their schools, resulting in better facilities, resources, and programs. Conversely, schools in poorer areas receive less funding, often leading to fewer resources and opportunities for students. This system creates disparities in education quality based on economic differences, making it difficult for students in low-income communities to receive the same quality of education as those in wealthier areas. Addressing these inequities is essential for ensuring all students have equal educational opportunities.
