Where these school districts’ money comes from: 52% local taxes, mostly this property tax · 32% the state, from income, sales and cigarette taxes and the lottery · 16% federal money and fees. The state’s share is never on a property tax bill. The Schools section has it district by district. Where the money comes from is the state’s split, by the accounting code each district files it under.
