It is good that the funding is mainly coming from property taxes, that is, through school districts and local governments. So many owners of those three million dollar homes have not figured out a way to avoid paying property taxes on their houses there, so the money for the schools come from a reasonable source.

It would be an abomination if much of the money were to come from the Provincial and Federal governments, because in that case the schools would be rebuilt on the income taxes of workers in Comox and Vernon and Kamloops (not from the poverty-status claiming 20k-a-year homeowners of Shaugnessey and Kerrisdale and Dunbar...).
