Question 2: District Level

Question 2. Raising money at district level

• Should the rules be changed for local communities that want to spend more on schools?

• Because of differences in wealth, some communities can raise money more easily than others.

  • Should the state play a role here?
  • If the state were to contribute so that all local communities could generate similar revenue from similar tax efforts, would it affect your opinion about school districts' raising money locally?
