Prop 13 has nothing to do with it, the 1971 California Supreme Court decision mandating statewide equal per-pupil funding is the issue.
While obviously that court decision is unique to California, the broad idea of statewide funding equalization is not a policy that exists only in California, and, in fact, the vast majority of states have most school funding driven by state-set formulas.
