Abstract | Even as the United States extends a free public education to all children, it rigs the system against the success of some of the most vulnerable by taking those who arrive at school with the greatest needs and giving them less in school. Low-income and minority students, in particular, get less of what matters most; these students get the fewest experienced and well educated teachers, the least rigorous curriculum, and the lowest quality facilities. At the core of these inequities is a set of school finance policy choices that systematically shortchange low-income and minority students and the schools and districts that serve them. In this unprecedented look at school funding across multiple levels--federal, state, and district--this report shows how funding choices at each of these levels tilt away from equity. The following articles are included: (1) How the Federal Government Makes Rich States Richer (Goodwin Liu); (2) How States Shortchange the Districts That Need the Most Help (Ross Wiener and Eli Pristoop); and (3) How Districts Shortchange Low-Income and Minority Students (Marguerite Roza). Also included are a school system revenue data table and a technical appendix. (Contains 8 tables, 1 figure, and 29 endnotes.) (ERIC). |
