The last time I saw the stats, federal government provides approximately 12% of the funds to any given school. That stat is several years old and obamanomics I'm sure has skewered it somewhat, but it is still a very low percentage of funding. Why then do they demand and GET 100% control over standards, procedures, curriculum, etc.? The key word is control. If I ruled the school I would just tell them no thanks. Keep the cash and leave control at the local level where the majority of funding for schools is obtained. I would bet big money that the costs of compliance with federal regulations is greater than the benifit when all is said and done. Maybe somebody has more current numbers on what percent comes from where in education budgets. My point howerver, is that nowhere else is a MINORITY shareholder, owner, partner or whatever given as much control with so little investment.
