The school districts get part of our local income taxes which is separate from what municipalities get (technically municipalities run wholly on property taxes, and the schools get a portion of that plus a portion of local income taxes that are split with the county. It's convoluted IMO). It depends on where you are employed and where you live, since your employer remits taxes to the municipality you work in and that municipality remits taxes to school districts based on where each employee lives (at least that's how I understand it, it all is mostly transparent other than needing to include various location codes on forms for your employer and for your local tax return).

I look like that mouth-hanging-open emoji right now. Convoluted for sure!

Our municipal taxes are paid directly to the local council. Education is funded by central government.
