The state of Alabama gives a large per pupil sum. Local governments are the school funding problem in our state.
Not to derail thread, but I live in baldwin county. The largest county in the state, and one of the top ten fastest growing counties in the nation. Over 50% of our school funding goes to Montgomery to get reallocated, so I don't agree with you. At all.

That's not how your school funding works at all. The ETF is funded by state level taxes. Distribution is made by student. If you feel you're getting the shaft there, I challenge you to compare funding and facilities in your Baldwin County schools to the schools attended by 30,000 impoverished black children in the Black Belt counties.
The state doesn't get any portion of locality property taxes earmarked for local education.
