    It appears from my searching 8-10% is federal funding did you see a number somewhere else that was much higher?

      I reviewed a bunch of sources from a quick (and not extensive) search, and it looks like it may vary by district, but I’m seeing sources (across different years) with averages as high as 13% and as low as 8%. I don’t know where I was getting my number, but I thought it was more like 43%. Even 13% is shite. 8% is abysmal. So sad.

        You were probably thinking of state funding. That’s often right around 43% with the rest being local funding.
