Cities are responsible for most elementary and secondary education costs.

The chart shows local (city/county) governments bear the largest share of K–12 education spending. The other choices are incorrect because police are typically funded by local governments, public welfare is not split equally between state and local levels, and road/highway maintenance is shared (not solely a state responsibility).
