The biggest propagator of the myth that schools need high funding to teach are the teachers themselves. People associated with the construction industry also play a big role in helping to get school tax referendums passed.

GreatSchools.net says $9,600 per student in Los Angeles Unified School District.
The schools in my district get $7,000 per student and a lot of parents have moved here just for the school system.
More desirable is a district about 20 minutes from me that spends $9,800 per student (just slightly more than Los Angeles). They have one of the top high schools in the nation.
