State dollars used to make up the largest portions of funding for schools, but the shares have changed.

The proposed new model would dismantle the competition, allowing schools to stand alone and receive funds that reward student success. It would also accommodate the smaller schools that are starting out at a disadvantage, giving them a base level of funding. Those funds wouldn’t be subject to recapture if revenue from tuition and property taxes exceeds that amount.
