Like she’s going to tell parents they’re only allowed to send their kids to public schools?

Yep. Private magnet schools would be illegal. But to make it "fair," you can live anywhere and send your kids to any school anywhere, regardless of boundaries. Source: Warren website

Where I live in Ohio, school funding is based on your property taxes. A specific percentage of the property taxes go to the local school district. Every year, there is a vote that we are allowed to raise our property taxes for schools, and the amount they are raised by go directly to the school. This specific part of property tax only goes to the school and any raise of this part of property tax will only go to schools.

So how does school funding work with the system you are talking about? Is it the same percentage of property tax for the whole state that goes to schools for the whole state? Do counties have the same yearly vote to raise property tax to fund schools more? If so, why would people ever want to vote for that tax increase if the funding is distributed across the whole state instead of directly given to the school your child will be going to?
