>> How does that play out in practice? I think it is a little complicated to implement, but not outrageously so. You obviously have to a breakdown of fixed vs. variable costs, which normally a cost accountant would need to insure a system allows for that. That part is not too hard. But the funding sources are different by state and/or locality, and they'd have to be handled differently. You'd have to have a reporting of school-aged children who are in the public school system and a count of those who aren't, which I would assume is already available. And just adjust the tax allocation accordingly. Doesn't have to be perfect. Allocation plans as have been in use could be modified as needed. I'm not one who believes that money should flood into school systems on an unlimited basis or that money automatically translates to better school systems. IN the last 30 years we have seen this opinion that only big money can provide great education and it simply isn't factual. As in life, money can make things easier, but great teachers matter.
