Correct. Your property taxes are local. The money the state pays for education comes from the general fund, not any special dedicated funding source. (insert joke about the lottery(

You can say you pay $3,721.23 per year in property taxes to the schools, but you can't say how much you pay in state taxes to the schools.

But you do pay taxes to the state of Louisiana that then go into the general fund, right?

You may not be able to calculate a precise dollar value but doesn't that just highlight the opacity of the state's funding formula?

Another funding is Title IX for 'disadvantaged' students. It's based on 'free lunch' kids. It's all fake. Schools know they get more money with more free lunch applicants so they don't require documentation from parents. If you make 100K a year your school would like you to get free lunch tickets so the school gets more money.
