How do public schools in the states receive funding? By this I more mean how does the state, and federal government decide how the money is dispersed in between the schools? What would cause one school to get more money than another?
Hi,
It depends upon many conditions, infrastructure, strength of students, location, facilities the school is providing to students.
If the school is providing better facilities than there are better chances for good funding.

On the state level, levies are put on local ballots for voting and if passed, taxes increase and the schools receive the funding. School boards determine if more funding is needed and propose a levy, which then goes through the political hoops and voted upon. Federal spending depends on the US Department of Education by which there are numerous Acts such as No Child Left Behind and the The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 which disperses the funds. The US Department of Education also manages federal student financial aid and federal grants. On the federal level, again, the money is collected via taxes, but by federal taxes, not state taxes.
