State school finance reforms increased racial and ethnic funding inequities, new study finds | The Highland County Press

State school finance reforms designed to close funding gaps between high- and low-income districts did not reduce racial and ethnic funding inequities and in some cases increased them, according to new research. As school desegregation efforts slowed in the decades following the 1980s, these findings highlight the limitations of income-based approaches in addressing racial funding disparities in education.
