Research Report: Follow the Money
A 50-state survey of Public education dollars" by Chris Patterson, with Chad Blevins and Andrew Brown, Texas Public Policy Foundation ![]()
This report looks at where our public dollars come from, and answers part of the question of where this money goes. Overall, a wonderful look at the financing of public schools, state by state
Some surprising findings include: 1. there is no such thing as "education dollars" 2. public schools are funded by a mix of local, state and federal funds in every state 3. there is a large difference in per pupil spending between the states |
