Do you have any more info on that? Everything I see shows federal funding increasing greatly, but it’s hard to find the numbers as a percentage of funding. In a few places I’ve seen 8% of school budgets come from federal funding–which would vary depending on how much everyone else kicks in.
Reading the comments makes me think of San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez (1973), which is just about 50 years old. It’s one of those close court cases that would have had a huge change if it went the other way. I got the impression at that time about 50% of funding was supposed to be local, while the rest came from state and federal funds. This says in recent years Texas gets about 6% from federal, 44% from state, and 50% from local funds.
