Small Schools

Since 2002, some of the federal funds provided to local school districts under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act have been distributed through "weighted" grant formulas intended to better target funding to districts with the highest concentrations of poverty. While this is a worthy purpose, these weighted grant formulas have also produced some perverse effects. These articles and publications explore these negative effects and how to mitigate them.
