Funding education is important in today’s society. Education offers a place for everybody and let’s people explore different topics. There are states that are funded poorly and it affects education, teachers and the classroom funds. Some schools can’t afford simple classroom essentials. For example art classes can’t afford clay for kids to do projects with because of the funds coming in. Many teachers end up paying out of pocket for classroom supplies for student use. Low school funding can increase class sizes because of amount of teachers laid off. Some schools only have very few teachers for each subject and this makes class sizes increase
Schools in Allegany County are under funded. From closing down schools to class education. Elementary, middle, and high schools need to have more variety of classes and teachers to have a broader learning experience. The reason for closing of elementary schools is because of under funding towards those schools. This can cause problems with parents of the children who have to redistrict, this causing parents to find the transportation for there kids. More funding needs to go to more permanent schools so the school does not close down.
Students are unable to expand their learning abilities because of minimized advanced placement courses. Schools that are poorly funded have a very few college courses or advanced placement courses. If these classes were available at all schools many students would exceed highly.

The state government can supply poorly funded schools with resources so students can have opportunities that they may of not had before. Resources such as specified consolers to help students in academic need that are failing classes or need to take more advanced classes.
Expected results such as schools can bring in more many for education opportunities. This can provide students with resources to take classes that interest them or will help them in the near future. Also college courses that are taken in high school, the credit will transfer to the college.
The money that is budgeted can be used more effectively towards the classes that are being offered. The cost per pupil should be more than it is currently in our county. Thus helping students progress in their education for their future.
