Book Description
Public school expenditure differentials are especially of interest as they relate to children in particular categories of historical concern, such as minority status, poverty, and other at-risk factors. This report addresses school finance policy through the analysis of school district revenue and expenditure data from the 1990 Survey of Local Government Finances--School Systems. The largest variations in average public education expenditures occur between regions. Fully adjusted expenditures per student are highest in the northeastern region and lowest in the West ($5,293 versus $3,632). Public education expenditures per student are higher in smaller districts, and greater expenditures per student are associated with higher community socioeconomic status. More money is actually spent in districts with the highest percentages of minority students ($4,514 versus $3,920). While student/teacher ratios vary substantially by district size and region, the distribution of public education resources is substantially closer to being equal than wealth measured by housing values, and somewhat less varied than wealth measured by household income. Thirty-two tables and 38 figures present survey data. Five appendixes contain 21 additional tables of supplemental information. (Contains 33 references.) (SLD)

Book Description
State and Federal governments provided $146 billion for public elementary and secondary schools in school year 1994-95. Some of this revenue targeted poor students. This report examines state school finance policies, focusing on targeting to poor students and the funding gaps between districts with high and low proportions of poor students. Determines (1) the extent to which state and federal funding is targeted to districts on the basis of the number of poor students, and (2) the effect of state and federal funding on the amount of funds available to high-poverty compared with low-poverty districts. Also includes interviews with state and federal officials.
