Blog 5: School Funding
School funding was the topic in this week of class. In the class discussion, I learn new interesting things about school funding.One of that thing were where does the funding come from. The school's general funding source is the Federal Government (4.2%), Local (12.7%) and State (83.1%). The thing that I found interesting about the federal government percentage because it seems they have a substantial influence on school districts. With the requirement of the standardized test another test from the federal government, I would think they would contribute more of a financial support.
It was also interesting to see how the funds are being used. The fund is being distributed to student transportation (5.8%), District Level (4.5%), Facilities, Operation and Maintenance (13.1%) and Instructor, Supplies (76.6%). To see the way the funds are distributed to schools and to hear about schools are cutting are some programs, was a hard thing to understand.
When I hear news about schools cutting programs such as music or other extracurricular activities but also being able to finance things for sports activities. It makes me wonder how are the funds are really being distributed. While there's a growing need for funds, schools are often finding why to get financial support.
Great job on your blog post!!! I was also glad to learn where funding comes from for public and charter schools. You mentioned that arts and music programs are being cut, yet schools are often finding ways to get financial support. I agree with you and I hope students and faculty will tap into those resources so that those performing arts programs can continue to live.
