this is a common misconception. once you consider local, state, and federal funding, almost every state in the US has at least slightly progressive school funding (ie, low-income districts get no less, and sometimes a bit more, funding than high-income districts). [0]
the incentive still exists to live in expensive districts when you have school-aged children, but the main benefit is simply that your children go to school with children from other well-off families.
