Public schools receive funding from three different
government sources: local, state, and federal. Local and
state governments contribute the majority of funding
to support public school systems, while the federal
government provides a small fraction (only about 8% on
average). Even with recent infusions of federal funding
related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal share
remains the smallest.

Three different sources of funding and teachers are still having to buy their own class supplies with already meager incomes.
What a freaking disgrace.
