Funding shouldn't come from property taxes. It only fuels a very unbalanced education system. We need to go to a flat tax for schools. Everyone pays their share, and it gets split up per student. Then offer a voucher worth X percent of the per-student allotment for folks who want to send their kids to private school. Issue solved. While you're at it, I think there should be statewide support systems such as IT. So much money is wasted by each district having their own data centers, equipment, hosting, etc. If they joined forces, a lot of money could be saved.
