Public schools don’t just run themselves. They require major funding. They run on heart, hustle, and a whole lot of community creativity. In this episode, Jessica and Heather follow the money behind America’s classrooms. We break down funding from property taxes, federal funds, and bond votes. We unpack how school funding really works, who decides what gets funded, and why investing in education is the smartest bet a community can make.
