School Districts Ranked by the Money They Spend Per Student

Across the United States, the education gap continues to grow in different parts of the country. With areas more affluent than others, more focus in recent years is being placed on the funding for public schools. When an area is more well-funded, it allows the school districts in those areas the ability to offer many more opportunities to help their students succeed with their education. Public schools are funded by federal, state, and local resources, and close to half of the funding for these schools comes from property taxes. Because of this, the wealthier areas that have more expensive homes ultimately have more money to put back into their local school systems.

How the Pandemic Has Affected Education

The global pandemic has altered our lives in so many ways. The lockdown situation has resulted in offices and schools shutting down in various countries across the globe, almost all of them. As a consequence of this lockdown, many companies have asked their employees to work from home.
