The Federal government DOES send tens of billions of dollars to many local schools, especially in disadvantaged areas under Title I -- see http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/15/us/15education.html . Maybe the money for this academic year has already been disbursed. Much of the stimulus also went to public schools.
