| Abstract | This review and comparison of census data on the distribution among states of school-age children in poor families for 1990 and 1980 explores implications in the changes for Chapter 1 funding and administration. Numbers of school-age children in poor families represent the primary factor in the allocation of most funds under the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The U.S. Department of Education has announced that it would base Chapter 1 grants for 1992-93 on the 1980 census data, while the 1990 data would be used for 1993-94 grants. While the aggregate number of poor school-age children in the 50 states and the District of Columbia was found to have increased by 6 percent between 1980 and 1990, the change in the number of such children in individual states ranged from a decrease of 37.8 percent to an increase of 57.4 percent. If other relevant factors remain unchanged, this would lead to large shifts in Chapter 1 grants among local educational agencies, states and regions when the 1990 data are used in the Chapter 1 allocation formulas. The shifts in state's shares of children from poor families may reflect at least three patterns of demographic and economic change. First, there has been a general shift in population toward the South and West, including significant declines in school-age population in some eastern states. Second, relatively large-scale immigration may have increased the population of poor families with children in some states. Third, these data are based on family income for 1989 when areas such as Texas, Oklahoma, the upper Midwest and the Rocky Mountain states were in economic distress, but the recent economic recession had not yet hit the eastern states as it would in 1990 and 1991. Eight footnotes are included. (JB) |
