Sorta kinda, but it's not that simple.\n\nI think (although I am not certain) that the state gives a lump sum to the college no matter how many in-state or out-of-state students they have.  At a public school, tuition (and fees) only cover a fairly small percentage of the school's entire operating budget (25% maybe, depending on the school).\n\nSometimes you can get reduced tuition at at state school in a neighboring state if they offer a program that your own state schools don't.  I know the states in New England do this.  I'm not sure if any money is exhanged, though - I think it's more of an agreement of "you take 100 of mine, I'll take 100 of yours, and we'll call it even".\n\nBut I just teach at a state college, I don't run the finances!

The school administrator deals with parents that have real or imagined problems. He/she deals with teachers to make them the best they can be (lesson plans on time, budgets prepared, curriculum issues) and he/she looks for funding over and above the regular tax dollars, or volunteers to do the many things that need to be done but don't get done. In addition he/she deals with student discipline problems.

Private, charter, or home schooled.  Parents don't have enough say in what the public schools are teaching because the federal government is too involved in education.  Public education went downhill after Jimmy "Mr. Peanut" Carter pulled the cabinet position of secretary of education out of his ass.  It needs to be done away with and parents should take some responsibility in what the schools teach their kids.

most of it is copyright laws. The colleges have the money and thus a lot of their logos are copyrighted.

This was Answered by Teachers on Oprah.. The schools get paid per student. It doesn't cover much (free lunches, overcrowding, more teachers) but the biggies in the school system gets the money to spend how they see fit. They do know who is Illegal by enrollment forms. The schools have many issues but the biggies do not want to give up that money now. \n In the beginning it was not a bad idea. The children benefited and so did the schools. But now because of more programs needed and overcrowding from the mass coming in-and tax payers saying enough-they are in deep you know what. It seems not many looked further down the line.

garbage pick up, goverment saleries, police and health care workers, city construction, pretty much everything that the goverment runs is funded by the taxes you pay

This sounds oddly worded.\n\nMy kids have gone to a private school most of their lives, and most of the tuition is used for operational costs- building expenses, salaries (a big chunk), etc.\n\nAll of the schools they have been to have several students on scholarships, but then there is still money coming in- a scholarship for $500 means the school GETS $500 from whoever issued the scholarship.\n\nThe bigger problem is when the schools adjust the tuition to meet the families income. For low-income families, this means an operational shortfall that has to be made up in someother way. Anotehr concern is those families that for whatever reason do not meet their tuition obligations.\n\nThe schools I am involved with try to fill in the income gaps with assorted forms of fundraising, such as:\n- golf tournements or other sporting events\n- product sales\n- auctions and banquets\n- inter-class challenges (penny wars, etc.)\n- garage sales\n- grant writing\n- estate planning\n- and so forth.\n\nUnfortunately, the formula is easy- you either need to raise tuition rates, reduce operational costs, or find extra money in the community.\n\nThe last is the most common answer, but the toughest. You can try for a few 'big ticket' fundraisers, or a lot of small fundraisers, or a combination of the two.\n\nOne solution I have seen tried (but not at my kid's schools) was for the school to host evening and weekend classes for adults. The plan is like this:\n- Parents, etc. who have a skill or something to teach let the committee know about their interest and figure out how many classes, how long, etc.\n- The committee offers a catalog of classes for people who are interested, and publishes a price per class or course.\n- The committee and the school provide places for the classes, and provide operational support.\n- The instructor gets a share of the money raised for their class, and the school gets the the rest.\n\nSupposedly, the school gets a nice chunk of money out of this and has been doing it for years.

The professor is acting as agent for the university.  Any money he receives through private grants is managed by him for his program, but actually belongs to the university.  Therefore, any equipment, etc., that he purchases in this capacity belongs to the university.

A lot of the things that you mention are funded in most places by property taxes, not income taxes.  Where I live, it's property tax and a local option sales tax that pays for the library, pays for fire protection, paves the streets, etc.  These are local services.\n\nFederal income tax receipts account for about half of the federal budget.\nThe largest expenditures of the federal government are:\n1) pay interest on the public debt\n2) fund the military\n3) Health & Human services (mainly medicaid and medicare)\n4) Social security\n\nSome individual states also levy an income tax and/or a state sales tax.\nAlso, some federal money comes back to individual states to be administered by the states (medicaid is one example; road-building is another).

Public schools are run by a local school district. Typically divided into elementary, middle and high school. Public schools must serve all children who live in the jurisdiction, including children with disabilities. They are funded by tax funds.\n\nCharter schools are a special example of public schools, but they are run by non-governmental agencies. Allowed by state law, these schools get the same tax funds of public schools, but have less government oversight. They were created in response to the "parental choice" movement a few years ago.\n\nPrivate schools are run by a non-governmental organization. They can establish their own admissions requirements, and, while they can't discriminate, they can take whomever they want. They may also not provide the entire range of K-12 education.\n\nA parochial school is another name for a private school operated by a religious group, and almost always refers to a school run by the Catholic Church. It is a private school.\n\nMagnet schools are public schools that have a special emphasis program (such as the arts, or math and science) with the intention of attracting students of all backgrounds and ethnicity to the school (i.e. a "magnet" for talented youth). They were often created as a way to get white kids to go to predominately minority schools as an alternative to busing.\n\nMontessori is a particular educational philosophy and method. Most often found in private schools, although some public schools (especially elementary level) have adopted this method. More info on this at:  http://www.montessori.edu/.\n\nHomeschooling started out as an alternative to public schools for those families who object to the philosophy or reality of public schools. Many were established by families with strong religious beliefs who wanted to control the environment in which their children were exposed to education and belief systems. This started out as a solitary adventure with each family educating their own children. Modern homeschooling includes lots of shared activities and teaching between families and groups of families. More info here:\nhttp://homeschooling.about.com/\n\nMore info on all types at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:School_types\n\nHope this is helpful to you.

Education voucher\n\nAn education voucher, commonly called a school voucher, is a certificate by which parents are given the ability to pay for the education of their children at a school of their choice, rather than the public school to which they were assigned.

Sadly, we are already losing it, if we haven't lost it completely.  The present American political leadership is not willing to spend any serious money on education, preferring to squander it on prisons, wars, and the futile pursuit of the War On (some) Drugs.  Local governments without rich tax bases cannot make up the shortfalls, even if they don't have spending caps imposed by ignorant legislators.
