Important bit:

The richest 25 percent of school districts receive 15.6 percent more funds from state and local governments per student than the poorest 25 percent of school districts, the federal Department of Education pointed out last month (March, 2015).

I suspect some sort of "matching" scheme intended to nudge districts into increasing property taxes, which just ended up backfiring spectacularly.
