Abstract:

The Public School System has one goal, to educate our youth. The one problem with this is it isn’t meeting its goal. Our schools are underfunded and can’t financially support what they are meant to do. The problem we need to solve is providing our schools with more funding and understanding how schools are funded. By solving this problem we are able to provide smaller classes, more teachers and depict education the way it should be. This paper involved in-depth research to help provide evidence on why funding is so important. Many of the sources that will be discussed deal with schools that are underfunded at the beginning but receive funding and the benefits that come from increased funding. There will be proposed solutions to solve this budget crisis. Those are to model off of other countries that are able to fund their schools and maintain a well-rounded school system and also learn from our mistakes. If funding is increased it doesn’t mean our problems are solved. This is just the beginning of a very long journey. Money doesn’t solve problems but if it is used wisely it can help be a stepping-stone to solving a problem
