Federal Education Funding Data Dashboard
Traditional public schools and public charter schools are funded by a combination of federal, state, and local dollars.
While the federal government is not the primary source of funding for public schools, federal education funds are earmarked for specific purposes, including:
- Title 1 programs to support students from families with low incomes,
- Child Nutrition Act programs that provide free and low-cost school meals for students from families with low incomes,
- Special education services for children with disabilities, and
- Vocational and technical education programs.
