You can see that on the small scale in the small towns around Colorado, the direct involvement of the community with their schools. However, those school districts still get money from the state to support the districts and the community doesn't pay the entire bill for their school system.

How should the schools be funded? Entirely by the community it serves? What if that community is poor and cannot fund at the same level as, say Cherry Creek where their funding comes from Cherry Hills, Greenwood Village and the like? Do we say too bad? Level the playing field some?

I'm really not arguing with anyone here; I am trying to see if someone has an idea, a solution for a complex problem that escapes our legislators.
