Poll finds sympathy for high-poverty schools
“Georgians support a school funding formula that sends more money to high poverty school districts, says a new poll by the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. The poll of 625 Georgia voters finds 69 percent of respondents support sending more state money to K-12 districts with ‘large’ numbers of students from families in poverty, plus 71 percent favor increased spending on the state’s subsidized child care program so it can serve more working families.”
