Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Older people who no longer have children in school are generally more resistant to taxes that support schools. As that part of the population increases, the resistance to increasing school funding is likely to increase.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: This model simply provides aid to local school districts based on a fixed amount of funds multiplied by the number of students in attendance in the district's schools. This does not take into account special circumstances that exist among school districts in the state, such as the number of students with special needs, the percentage of low-income students, special programs, and the wealth of the school district and its ability to raise revenue.
