You're right

Public schools receive funding from three different government sources: local, state, and federal. Local and state governments contribute the majority of funding to support public school systems, while the federal government provides a small fraction (only about 8% on average). Even with recent infusions of federal funding related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal share remains the smallest.

Three different sources of funding and teachers are still having to buy their own class supplies with already meager incomes.

What a freaking disgrace.
