Schools get a budget every year.  If they don't use up all the money, then they get less the next year.  Its not about being cost effective, its all about using up the money.  Just imagine all the fuel that gets used with all the buses just to have a half of a day of school.

Well a scholarship is usually earned by the student on some academic or sport specific field and then there are grants and yes there are a number of grants that anyone with certain income levels are given the most common of these grants is called the Pell Grant and probably the second most popular would be the Stanford Bennet grant both are government funde. Good luck if you look any further than this. From someone who went to college on both.

Funding for elementary education is different in every state and district.  Some states spend more on education than others. The federal government does supply funds in certain areas, notably special education and Title I funding, which is aimed at students with a lower socio-economic status.  There is some controversy currently because federal law dictates how special education needs to be done, but the money that was promised with these laws has never been given out to the extent it was promised.  Special education is more expensive so this is a factor in all districts' budgets.  So the answer to your question is that schools will get more money if state politicians make it a priority it in their budgets and when the federal government fully reimburses school districts for costs of education that they mandate.

EVERYTHING in education is established, defined, and implemented by law.\n\nSchools are funded by taxpayers through legislation.\n\nSchool operations and administrative issues are set by law (class sizes, use of funds, teacher licensure, etc.).\n\nStates define academic standards through legislation.\n\nEven the AMOUNT of classroom decoration is limited and defined through state/federal fire codes (no, not researched educational benefit... fire safety).\n\nThere isn't a move teachers and administrators make, that isn't controlled in some way by laws and regulations.

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

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!

Public Education. Mainstream media always refer to it as a democracy.  As Karl Marx would say "repeat a lie enough, it becomes the truth." By the Way it's a Federal Republic, where the power are divided and defused between the three branches of government and the States
