How might existing educational disparities related to redlining be improved?

In many areas, local property taxes help fund public schools, so neighborhoods with lower property values often have fewer resources for education. Combining property-tax revenue from low- and high-income neighborhoods would distribute school funding more uniformly and help address disparities connected to redlining. Raising taxes only on businesses in redlined communities or lowering homeowners’ taxes would not directly ensure more equal school funding, while closing struggling schools could further limit students’ access to education.
