Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The desire to equalize funding across school districts is a major reason for increased centralization in school financing. The other choices are not relevant or contradictory. There are no diseconomies of scale in education as larger schools can benefit from economies of scale by sharing resources and expertise. State education agencies typically aim for more centralized control, not decentralization. While there may be increasing positive externalities from education due to globalization, this is not a direct reason for increased centralization in school financing.
