All school funding is not created equal.

  • State funding has not kept pace with rising costs, unfunded mandates, and growing expectations.
  • More than 70% of school districts rely on school levies to make up for inadequate state funding.
  • The disparity in voter-approved revenue ranges from $0 to over $2,929 for districts non-eligible for sparsity revenue per pupil, leaving many students without the educational opportunities they need and deserve.
