Central High School Case Study

This meaning that the poorer the people within the neighbor the poorer the school districts will be. Although this case shed some light, it failed under the federal Equal Protection analysis because education was not a “fundamental right” recognized by the Constitution and because the educationally disadvantaged poor did not constitute a “suspect classification.” The Court refused to overturn the school finance system on grounds of inequality. Equally notable, this case “virtually abdicated any role for the federal courts in guaranteeing educational rights under the Federal Constitution,” leaving future plaintiffs “to state courts and constitutions for the change they seek (www.schoolfunding.com).”

The district counters that giving credit for the classes is the same as accepting transfer credits from private schools. (based on Zorach c. Clausen and Smith v. Smith)

The second largest budget line for this initiative is Raise Fair Student Funding (FSF). Raise Fair Student Funding ($33.6M in 2016 and $59.7M until 2019) is given directly to schools in their budgets. If the funding was divided equally amongst schools, each school would receive roughly $357,446.81, which would be relatively $762.58 per student. However, this funding is associated with the FSF formula that change yearly (see appendix ____).

The districts argued that the legislature failed to provide students with proper funding for academic needs; a sizeable gap has been created between the wealthy and poor school districts; and the school districts were having to tax at the maximum rate just to provide a basic education to students. Dietz ruled in favor of the school districts.

Gifts that are made now help us secure the future for all of the programs that the Goucher General Fund

There were many questions, but the most frequently asked was, ‘What is the money for’? We asked local National Honor Society leader Wade VanVark this question. In hopes that things would slowly become clearer as more explanations come.

However, there was no such scholarship for the girls’ school. The city realized that even though the girls were supposed to pay the headmistress, most weren’t as they couldn’t afford. After going back and forth between the girls having to pay and the city paying they settled on the money coming from the community

I think that any school that receives funding from any source has an obligation to obey the conditions that were given. If the school does not accept the conditions provided the school does not have to accept the money. Although in this case it is more complicated because new conditions have suddenly come up and were not part of the agreement before. Previously there was no condition requiring the school to have a LGBTQ group, however the government now wants to make that a new rule. The school depends on the government for money so the school must either accept the new conditions or find a new funder.

Starting in the 1960s as the turmoil surrounding Brown V. Board of education died down, parents and taxpayers began to bring lawsuits against state funding systems arguing that these systems violated either state or federal constitutions (Augenblick, Myers & Anderson, 1997). Thus far, federal claims have all failed. In 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on the San Antonio independent School

The Perkins fund has benefited thousands of schools and communities across the United States, including my own in Phoenix, Arizona. I attend Paradise Valley High School in the Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVUSD).

Although from the current view of the financial statements, it is an added expense to provide these scholarships, but I see it more from a positive impact to our long term goal. I see us educating a society according to how we do things that will later impact our profits positively. I would be more concerned if we were looking at this investment from a short term perspective. But since we're looking at a long term relationship, I believe this is something we should be doing.

This is good for families who wanted their children to attend these schools with high tuition, but could never afford it.

would be unjust and downright disrespectful. The schools are saying they don 't trust its own people.

Another source of income for school districts is sales tax. Sales tax could be an easier way to get funding locally since people are receiving something in return such as goods/services. The money comes from the good or services and goes to the state comptroller offices and then the state sends the funds to the local districts. A disadvantage to sales tax it is that
