With the increasingly expensive demands being placed on school districts
by the state
and federal governments,
school districts are faced with making cuts in
programs and
services or asking local property taxpayers to pick up the
tab for increased expenses.
School boards have increasingly less fiscal control. These mandates,
which are not
funded by their creators, force
local citizens to pay for them through regressive
property taxes.
This system
allows the state and federal governments to spend
money that other
taxing entities must collect.
