I thank God I don't live there (financially speaking). The majority of public schools' funding comes from property taxes. With property taxes being capped so low, there is no way to properly fund them. Warren Buffet was right when he said the FIRST thing they need to do to address these issues is to address property taxes.
I HATE paying 1.8% inproperty taxes, but can only imagine what our schools would be like if the average property tax rate was 0.61%.
