I have to admit, I am a little bit stuck. I want to figure out a way to not drastically cut funding from richer schools, but bring the poorer school closer to their level. I don't think it would be beneficial to even the playing field by simply redistributing the wealth, I think the taxes need to go up, especially for those who make more, and then slight budgeting cuts to the wealthier schools. I want to enable the poorer schools to be able to afford the same textbooks and teachers and technology as the wealthier schools. I think those three are the most prevalent needs right now. I am totally and completely open to suggestions, I'm kind of grasping at straws at how to actually go about working this program up.

I am somewhat in the same place as you are. I think that if you do give one set amount of money to each school that yes it would cut "funding" at some of the wealthier schools. That doesn't mean that local government can't tax people more to get the amount of funding they want. Plus wealthier people can donate more to the school of their choice in oder to keep special programs going.
