Public school funding comes from federal, state, and local sources, with NEARLY HALF of those funds coming from LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES. Are you kidding me? So you don’t pay taxes but you expect there to be big bucks flowing to your schools? SMH

So much for equality and the American Dream! Wake up to reality people and stop this bigot! 👎

Once again, it’s down to race without other data. It’s commensurate with taxes collected.

Well I went to those “non-white” schools and can say the children don’t deserve it they’re little assholes and the parents of those children have raised them that way and it won’t change I seen teachers cry in front of “non-whites” they don’t care

Do they get more money because there are more of them ?

Who wNts to bet this study used completely biased & cherry picked data?

Of course they are richer.

No Shit.

Movin on up to the east side, an apartment in the sky............

Obviously. America is 70% white. CNN is fake.

Predominantly. And a private school gets ? Zero .

An advocacy group says? No biases there.

Property taxes

linhenway Wow. Another shocker.

Meaningless stats, CNN. What’s the per-capita allocation?

What!!!! CNN you are right... white males should be in cages in a zoo!!!!

How much per child is needed?

White privilege.

the real title of the article should read 'The more your city pays in property tax, the more money your school district receives.'

Race baiting again hey mockingbird media...last time you reported hate crimes against white people? Q knows.

I have an important question the American people .. Do you think that everyone who encouraged Trump and those who are with him in the US government are the honorable American nation

Not in California.

Predominantly fake news.

Is it true or do they just say that This is journalism these days.

You need a hell of a lot more information than this to make a call on whether it is fair or not

How do we fix this?

Stirring the 'race pot' again, huh ? I'd be ashamed if I had to put CNN on my resume....

I have a home a rental and a lake property and all vary from 10-45% of taxes going to said school district has NOTHING to do with color or RACE simply how taxes are voted on in those districts... sick of you

Strange since Democrats control most school boards, the teachers unions and are the Mayors of most cities

Lower income areas =less taxes. The end.

White districts don't 'get' $23 billion a year more. They pay $23 billion a year more. School funding comes from property taxes. White people pay more taxes. Mystery solved, and spoiler alert: it's not racism.

black = white

That’s not fair....!!!

Talk to a teacher at a predominantly person of color school then talk to a teacher at a predominantly white school then your eyes will be wide open

If you don’t pay local taxes then you can’t complain about the schools.

This is my shocked face.

I'm taking a look at the 'education advocacy' group right now, and their 'study'. Let's just say - I'm not convinced.

Doesn't surprise me none 😒😒😒

That's because local taxes mostly pay for local schools. This is an extension of the class divide in our society.

Taking away money from white kids won’t do anything to fix the education gap. Blacks have been bused into white schools for decades and nothing has changed. White kids shouldn’t suffer because of a difference in ability

District eliminates extended school year, invests more in classroom technologyD.C. officials say there is little evidence academic achievement improved with a longer year. classroom technology is that some corporate jargon for teachers? Certainly a very good thing. Education is always worth investing in Classroom technology like those locked-down iPads they had in the LA school district that the kids figured out how to unlock in, oh, a week?
