Carey, Kevin; Roza, Marguerite
Center on Reinventing Public Education
This report examines funding disparities between two seemingly similar schools in Virginia and North Carolina. It finds that the federal, state, and local policies designed to distribute education funds systematically provide more money to higher-income students and wealthier schools. (Contains 5 figures.) [This report was also produced by the Education Sector.]
