摘要
School finance is highly centralized in California, as the state determines almost all of the revenue school districts receive. The only significant source of local revenue is a tax on parcels of land. We show that the likelihood a district levies this tax is positively related to the income of district residents and negatively related to the tax-price of spending per pupil in the district. It is also negatively related to the revenue a district receives under the state's school finance system. Districts turn to the parcel tax when their residents' demand for spending is not met by the revenue provided by the state.
