Schools in the US are funded at the local county/township/municipal level, typically by property taxes or sales taxes, though it varies from state to state. Nothing really to do with income taxes, apart from the occasional grant.
- taeric 9y agoI get that it is not the majority of funding. I don't know if it is a solid source, but http://www.data-first.org/data/how-much-money-does-our-school-district-receive-from-federal-state-and-local-sources/ http://www.data-first.org/data/how-much-money-does-our-schoo... has it at about 10%. 10% is not nothing. And, quite frankly, the places that need the most help probably don't have a lot of options at the local level.
