- kurthr 8y agoWell, in Oregon they are poorly funded, because it's a low tax state, but many expensive things like teacher salaries are state funded. This is due to a Supreme Court decision requirement to provide equal education, and it's unclear if they have fully complied, but generally your statement is not correct. In many large states (Texas, California, NY) schools are almost fully state funded. https://crosscut.com/2017/12/oregon-school-funding-education-washington-mccleary-schools https://crosscut.com/2017/12/oregon-school-funding-education... https://education.findlaw.com/curriculum-standards-school-funding/education-finance-and-funding-state-and-local-sources.html https://education.findlaw.com/curriculum-standards-school-fu...
