It should have been financed by my state and local school district,

But it was and you reaped the benefits that you now want to deny to

First of all you would have to FIND some benefits.

Good point, that federal money comes with mandates the money will not
cover.

Always do. Why do think the drinking age everywhere is 21 and
there are mandatory seatbelt laws, etc. etc. etc. etc.

With both examples a state could negate those laws by losing federal
funding but even the strongest advocates of states rights are rarely ready
to do that.

Oh, but that's not the least of it. The loss of the money is the least of
it, they also generally make demands whatever sum of money previously given
in grant also be returned.
Even when that money was given in a grant with no strings attached.
