school funding reform

School funding reform involves changing how money is allocated to public schools to ensure more equitable and adequate resources for all students. Typically, it addresses disparities caused by local property taxes, which can lead to inequality. Reforms may include shifting funding from local sources to state-level support, implementing needs-based funding formulas, or increasing overall investment in education. The goal is to provide a fairer distribution of funds that supports high-quality education regardless of a community's wealth, ensuring every student has access to resources, qualified teachers, and safe learning environments.
