Broadly speaking, schools are funded from 3 sources.
1. The state - Through your property taxes; by far the biggest chunk.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-70%.
2. Feds - Urban schools get significantly more federal money in large

3. Excess levy

I guess I'm lost. If the city does not fund schools, according to Ms.
Collier, who does? I seriously want to know how it breaks down. Does the
state or county fund public schools? If so, than why aren't urban schools as
lavish as the suburban schools.
Oh, and by the way, there is absolute

Dennis is right, it was originally conceived to have a school downtown for
Target employees. However, the number of Target employees' children

Target has no legal or moral responsibility to continue to sponsor the
school. It was, from the start, a service to its employees, with some
significant external benefits.
