Traditional public school districts receive state funding based on the number of students enrolled. If a student leaves the district for any reason, the district’s funding is reduced because the district no longer incurs the costs associated with educating that student. If that student enrolls in another district or public charter school, the state funding follows the student and the new district or school receives it.
It is important to note that traditional public school districts receive the bulk of their funding — 60% — from local property tax revenue. Local tax money remains with the district regardless of the number of students enrolled. Public charter schools do not receive any local tax money.
For starters, public charter schools receive less funding.
Charter schools ARE public schools.
