      But this is a bad idea.

      Areas with high property value have higher quality schooling. Area with low property value have lower quality schooling. The rich stay rich. The poor stay poor.

      Maybe education money shouldn’t come from property taxes. Maybe corporations should pay for the education they require their workers to have visa corporate taxes

        Generally the best option is for all property taxes for education to go into one pot to by divided up fairly across all school districts in the state, that way wealthy areas don’t end up with over funded schools while rural areas and poor areas get poorly funded schools

      Then why do the schools in my town look like they’re from 1970 and never updated. Over 10k in property taxes here.

      Edit. I’m all for giving my property taxes to help make kids smarter but it doesn’t seem like it’s working
