The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act is the largest incursion of the federal government into education in American history. More than $12 billion is attached to unprecedented requirements for all students, poor and nonpoor, to reach a level of academic proficiency. Title I and its NCLB reauthorization explicitly allot funds to individual schools for the needs of their poor students, but few studies have looked at school-level distributions of Title I funds. As schools, especially in urban areas, struggle to meet the standards set by NCLB, researchers need to examine how districts distribute these funds to schools and whether these funds are reaching the poorest children in an equitable manner. Are schools with the highest concentrations of poor children getting the most Title I assistance? This study examined school-level Title I funds distribution in the three largest U.S. districts--New York City Public Schools, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Chicago Public Schools--to determine the equitability of funding.
