In Chris Sweda’s article,”As CPS schools empty: Mayor Emanuel, don’t let this crisis go to waste”, he informs the audience how CPS schools are actually still in debt.

The state financials are now a chaos, due to Brownback’s actions. However, his plan backfired and now one of his options are to take budgets from the all the schools as high as forty-five million dollars and more. If Brownback starts to take away the school fundings then the schools would not be able to afford more textbooks, essential supplies, and even have to make the schools cancel games and activities just because they do not have any more funds to support it. This causes students to not be able to have a good education compared to the kids in other states. Not only is Brownback cutting public school funding, which is affecting the kids at the schools, but it also heavily is affecting the teachers.

School Funding Inequality “One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so” (Christine Gregoire). Everyone deserves an equal education regardless of where they live or who their parents are. Children are facing the consequences of decisions they can’t make. The current way public schools are being funded is not working effectively, students are suffering and there needs to be a change.
Before this case study, taxpayers funded grade school education, but it was never established that education was a right for Texas Citizens. Ultimately, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that funding individual public school districts by neighborhood property taxes was unequal, encouraging discrimination (MALDEF Lawsuit). The Texas Supreme Court ruled that funding for public school districts would be reformed a new system of funding public school education would be implemented (Acosta, 2010).
Defining the problem is not very hard. Money plays into quite a few problems along with other problems that build on top of eachother. There are, of course, different types of education.

In the United States of America, there is a ranking system based on public education. As an American, I believe everyone has the right to a great education, but this ranking for Oklahoma is insane. Oklahoma’s state ranking in education in 2014 was 49%. Yet there were nearly 700,000 students enrolled in public schools in Oklahoma with the average daily attendance being about 644,000 students. Yet Oklahoma was still 49th in education with 93.7% of its students showing up to school every day.
Finally, the school board is worried that this funding and jobs from this program will take away from other school district.

Public school funding Increasing school funding is very important in today’s future American students. Education should be one of the top priorities in the United States to make sure every student has the same opportunity to get the same great education.

These resources would be crucial of generating students of America. These students are the workers, leaders, and inspirations of future America.
Although, many options exist and no matter where you stand on the issue on how to educate our youth or children, all the funding should exist even more so in our public schools especially in the early years pre-k and kindergarten or elementary school students. This is so important because even if people are all for charter schools, private schools or home schools; those special students will eventually have to work and live next to majority of the students who went through public schools and it is very important that the public school kids get the absolute best guidance through their early years. If we do not give them everything we got we will end up with many problems. The problems we will have are not just people who have low reading and math skills but also potentially people who have low self-esteem and have many different mental problems. Public school funding goes beyond simply reading, writing, and math.
