Why We Should Send Education Dollars Directly to Schools

Aaron Garth Smith: Why we should send education dollars directly to schools

Currently, education dollars are funneled through districts, which then dole out staffing positions and other resources based largely on one-size-fits-all models. Not only does this approach to funding restrict local autonomy, but it often creates funding inequities since it fails to account for salary differences across schools. Sending dollars directly to schools would solve both of these problems by empowering principals with spending decisions and ensuring that funds reach the students they’re intended for.
