Funding

How Alabama funds schools

Alabama funds schools through the Foundation Program — a resource-based formula that requires 10 mills of local property-tax effort — and, beginning in 2025–26, the new RAISE Act (SB 305, 2025) layers weighted “RAISE Fund” dollars on top for students in poverty (up to 20% of the base), special education (up to 25–150% by tier), English learners (up to 15–20%), gifted students (up to 5%) and charter students (up to 10%), with the amounts set each year in the Education Trust Fund budget.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Lead Academy are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.
