Equalized Education Funds: Suburbs Versus Cities
Four cities in as many states challenge school funding gaps arguing unequal funds violate the 14th Amendment equal protection. They promote pooling and redistribution to ensure suburban and urban districts spend more evenly on public school children.
Education funding gaps push families to suburbs for better schooling
Education cent and local taxes drive families to suburbs for superior schooling. James Conant and James Allen argue states must equalize education spending, with states currently covering about 40 percent of costs and communities making up the rest. California districts spend 365 to 1353 dollars per pupil while New York ranges 470 to 1600 dollars.
