“Equally” as in, per school? Because then large school systems would end up with less funding per student. Which would have the same net result of urban schools, particularly in poorer areas, being underfunded.
Without getting into more complicated math about figuring real estate costs, prices to build, etc., per student is a roughly fair system. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good starting point.
I think we should keep the property taxes and just pool the money at the state level, then pass it back out on a per student basis.
Or just divide it equally?
