Federal funding is just a drop in the bucket compart to local and state taxes that support public schools. 30 billion from the Fed to 13000 districts would be only 2 mil before accounting for federal staff to audit and distribute. And for a school 2 mill is only about 10-25 staff depending on district.

The military gets a cool Trillion a year.

When they don’t misplace it.

is "30 billion from the fed" the amount they are currently getting? and is it every year?

what is that compared to? ie. how much does a school get from local residents?
