Those who favor community control of school in cities, for example, are not arguing for financing school out of neighborhood tax revenues. Even if it were practical to collect taxes at a neighborhood level, it would not be desirable to finance school this way. Areas with low tax collections would often turn out to have high educational needs and vice versa. Ghetto areas with high concentrations of poor children would not have the resources necessary to support even average school, let alone the more intensive and expensive education these children need. Clearly, school expenditures have to be redistributed in accordance with educational need if poor children are to have a chance at equal education.
