Answer 1

Schools in wealthy neighborhoods receive the most funding

Step-by-step explanation:

There have been so many lawsuits filed because of the issue of school financing since the 1970s. In almost half of the entire states, more funding is provided for schools in affluent districts from both the state and local government than schools in poorer districts. There are worse cases in some states, with poor districts in Illinois receiving 22 percent less in funding for students when compared to wealthier school districts.
