Funding for education depends largely on where it is located. Most often, schools and their respective districts receive funding from the federal government, their state government, the locality/localities the district may operate in, and in many cases from taxation of residents within attendance boundaries. Because education is largely controlled by state and territorial governments, internal structure varies by jurisdiction. The federal government’s Department of Education sets forth a curriculum that each state and territory must maintain at minimum at any given time. Failure to comply can result in a district or even the state or territory losing funding from the federal government. | Funding for education depends largely on where it is located.
