Through tax levy dollars.

I think it depends on how the school is accredited.  I once taught at a technical school, and I believe they got the Department of Education to sign off on the program so they were able to offer federal grants and loans.

Instead of starting a fund, why not donate and publicize funds that already exist to help people in the republic of georgia?\n\nhere is one:\nhttp://www.farusa.org/

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!

Well, the department of education doesn't really put that much money into schools.  Look at each individual state government to get a better feel

Good luck.  You'd need to decipher what the Department of Education spent at the federal level.  You'll have to figure out each state's budget.  Then you'll have to figure out at the local level for the whole state.  That's just the government schools.  I have no idea how you'd figure out how much civilian schools spend.  Would you could home schooling as worthless?

None. High school yearbooks are shouldered by the members of the class, not federal government.\n\nFederal grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

It is actually funded by three different sources.\nThe goverment alots money through REDSTONE ARSENAL, near Huntsville, ALABAMA.  The department falls under military.\nThen there's BOEING and LOCKHEED, which are not related to a government agency of any kind.  However NASA and Redstone arsenal work hand and hand together.\n\nIt takes so much money to keep it afloat, the goverment alone won't do it.

Hopefully you can't!  Private schools are not mandated and  do not follow all public ed regs. Children that go to public school get funding because the state regulates the standards and their parents pay taxes. Public funds should not be used for schools that make exclusions in their entrance requirements.Private schools basically exist to serve speciall interests. If you want state funding you should apply for a charter and then be regulated by your state. Once a school accepts funding it can no longer keep its discriminatory  rules against ANY group. \nIt basically loses most of its private  ways. It still can maintain some but not as many as it did when totally run by private funds. If this is not for you then get private businesses to fund you.

Sounds like you are preparing a speech.  Still, your point about where the money is to come from is well taken.\n\nI say scrap the whole idea of public schools, SELL the infrastructure to entrepreneurs and let them start private schools.  Honestly, what with all you pay in taxes, and supplies, and fees, and so on, a good private school could be run.  And face it, the public schools have become vast propaganda and indoctrination machines, teaching kids that the only way to see the world is through the eyes of the Politically Correct.\n\nDo you know where the term Politically Correct comes from?  The old Soviet Central Committee, meeting in Moscow, had one person (and he had a staff, I am sure) whose job title was sort of ideologue.  (It was something in Russian, of course.)  And what he said was Politically Correct for the Communist party was correct -- because there was only one legal political party.\n\nWhich American party wants you to treat it as the only one there is?  Let's see; which one is Politically Correct?

It for most officers are a way of life, more than just a job.\n\nWhile most small city departmetns pay very poorly, some larger cities pay very well.  So it will just depend, in GA for example some cities and counties pay better than the State does,  in other departments the state will pay better.\n\nSome departments, not all pay more for advanced education,\n\nIt jsut really depends on the department

As a whole it is not too good because Georgia is one of the lowest ranking states, but with that said it all depends on where you move and what school your child goes to.  Georgia has some really good schools, and some that are not doing so well.  The HOPE Scholarship is really good if you child maintains a B or higher average in a Georgia high school and decides to go to college in Georgia. \n\nBeing that I graduated from a Georgia high school, I feel that it is pretty much up your child to make the best of what's given to them.  The education system can only do so much the rest is up to the child.

Public schools are free.  That's about as cheap as it gets.

First, you'll have to get a master's degree in school counseling.\nSecond, you can check this website \nhttp://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.22f30af61d34e9c39a77b13bc3921509/?vgnextoid=d378197a484f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD\nto see what test you'll need to become a public school counselor in Georgia.\nIn my memory, it'll be The Praxis I® Test, and some states will also required The Praxis II® Test.

Public school teacher salaries are public knowledge, and most districts have them right on their websites under human resources. There is no "Georgia Pay Schedule" though, each district sets their own, and it can vary greatly from district to district. Use the link below to find a district that you are interested in, and search from there. Good luck!
