TitleNew Report: The Funding Gap
Body
From http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/newsline/archives/2008/02/new_report_the.html

The seventh in a series of annual reports, The Funding Gap includes state-by-state analyses of funding trends from 1999 to 2005, comparing the resources available to school districts serving the highest percentages of low-income students and students of color to the resources available to districts serving the lowest percentages of such students. For the first time, the report also compares funding available to school districts serving high percentages of English language learners (ELL) to that available to districts serving the lowest percentages of ELLs. Using data for the eight states with the highest percentages of English learners, the report finds that high-ELL districts generally receive less financial support than do districts with few or no ELL students.
