Equity for All? Black Students and Locally Controlled Funding
Wil Greer; Benikia Kressler
Urban Education, v59 n9 p2684-2708 2024
The purpose of this study was to explore if and how urban school districts explicitly addressed the needs of Black students within their budgets. Culturally responsive school leadership was used to examine district leaders' budgetary actions. Using content analysis methods and randomized purposeful sampling, we reviewed budget plans from districts with the largest percentages of Black students. We found that 7 of 11 districts included Black students in their plans. However, actions and expenditures did not clearly specify if or how they would support Black students. Recommendations include explicitly incorporating actions and expenditures into plans that directly target Black students.
