You just nailed it the key words Poverty districts they have less funding because they give less how brilliant. Interesting to note that the main places these things are happening in are NY NJ and CA three democratic states including yours. #ManufacturedCrisis

No. This is due to education funding being tied to home values. The same problem exists in every rural school district in the country.

@KamalaHarris there's room for you (and other Dem candidates) to come out with a strong, pro-public education platform, based on equity. @J4J_USA's #WeChoose campaign lays it out: 1)A Moratorium on School Privatization 2)The Creation of 10,000 Sustainable Community Schools Thread

3) End Zero Tolerance Policies in Public Schools NOW 4) National Equity Assessment 5) Stop the Attack on Black Teachers. 6) End State Takeovers, Appointed School Boards and Mayoral Control 7) Eliminate the Over-Reliance on Standardized Tests in Public Schools 2/2

What is the reason or explanation for this?

My guess is that much of district funds come from property taxes in the surrounding area, so high-poverty districts likely take in lower tax revenue.

I never understood why ‘failing school’ should lose funding. It seems like struggling schools need more money for security, smaller class sizes, better equipment, better food & more programs that focus on what is causing these kids to struggle. Denying them money makes no sesnse.

I see it every day. I am a school nurse, teachers are spending their own money to buy school supplies like pencils, paper for the students and dry erase markers so they can teach. Some even buy fruit like bananas, apples, tangerines or oranges to give to their students.

Racial disparities that are perpetuated by big banks finding loopholes to continue unfair lending practices. Practices that target by race, allot of the time. Focus at the top Ms. Harris.
