In California, at least, this is undercut by judicial decisions that limited how much local funding can affect local schools (Serrano v. Priest)[0]. And in general, this is only a problem insofar as exclusionary zoning is a problem. (Which is a problem, but which is solved through different means.) I'm in particular concerned about the viability of public schools in urban areas-- exclusionary zoning ceases to be a mechanism that the affluent use to keep their schools to their use, so other than opting-out (either by moving away from the city or using private schools), what other choices to they have?
