Sources of
Revenue
 This pie
chart shows a break-out of where the overwhelming majority of the money for this
district’s schools comes from. The state contribution, known as state aid, is
calculated by a formula which was signed into law as Article 31, the education portion of
the State’s 1998 Budget. The local revenue is the support raised by the city or town
through property taxes. Federal support might be money from the Improving America’s
Schools Act (IASA) from individual grants. Working Wonders grants, for example, are
competitively awarded by the state department of education, but the grants are funded by
federal Goals 2000 money. Some districts may have additional monies from corporations or
foundations (e.g. RI Foundation, Champlin grants, etc.). These monies are not accounted
for in this pie chart.
