[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] School funding report

[Lesley Farmer]

Many disadvantaged districts receive the least fundingMany states
provide the fewest funds to districts with the most poor and minority
students, according to a new Education Trust report. On average, U.S.
school districts in 2005 spent $938 less per pupil at schools where
incomes were low versus more affluent districts, while districts with a
large proportion of minority students received $877 less per pupil
compared with predominately white districts.Arroyo, C.(2007). The
