Whenever I speak to local civic groups about community college issues, people always appear deer-in-the-headlights stunned to learn how their taxes are invested in education. Specifically in FY 2007, for every tax dollar out of the state’s General Fund expended on education, about 74 cents was disbursed to the K-12 system; about 20.2 cents went to support public universities; and about 5.8 cents was invested in the community college system.
So we squander the most money on a public school system that doesn't work while short changing the community college system that does work?
