Answer to Question 1

Historically, elementary and secondary education in the United States was a local enterprise. This meant school financing was traditionally financed mostly at the local level. In 1940, for example, nearly 70 percent of financing for elementary and secondary education came from local sources. By 2000, that figure had declined to just over 40 percent with increases in state government funding making up most of the difference. The primary reason for the increase in state (and to some extent federal) funding has been the attempt to equalize funding across school districts. Since local school districts differ in the property tax bases available to them, more state funding allows more aid to be targeted to poor school districts.
