If school districts are the level of government upon which the mandate falls. then school districts should be the level of government that receives the funds which we appropriate for the purpose of alleviating the financial impact on that unit of government of the mandate which we have imposed. A commonsense approach. Second is the distribution among units of government. We know that from time to time we will impose mandates that are not uniform across the country. They may be mandates that relate. peculiarly. for instance. to border States that have immigration problems. northern States that have heating problems. States that have specialized geological problems. such as those that would relate to earthquakes. There should be a connection between the distribution of funds and where the mandate falls.
