Abstract

This article contributes to our understanding of American education politics by exploring when and why states redistribute K–12 education dollars to poorer schools. It does so by examining three explanations for intrastate changes in progressivity: court-ordered finance reforms, political trends, and demographic changes. Using state-level data from 1995 to 2016, we find mixed evidence that progressivity increased following a court-ordered school-finance overhaul. Rather, we show that changes in progressivity were most consistently tied to changes in student demography: As students became poorer, or more racially diverse, lawmakers created less progressive finance systems. The article concludes by discussing what these findings mean for advocates seeking to protect and advance gains in education-spending progressivity.

进步的政治:法院命令的改革、种族差异和学校财政公平
本文通过探讨各州何时以及为何将K-12教育资金重新分配给较差的学校,有助于我们对美国教育政治的理解。它通过研究州内累进率变化的三种解释来实现这一目标:法院命令的财政改革、政治趋势和人口变化。利用1995年至2016年的州级数据,我们发现在法院下令进行学校财政改革后,累进率有所提高的证据不一。相反,我们表明,累进率的变化与学生人口结构的变化最为一致:随着学生变得更穷,或种族更多样化,立法者创造了不那么累进的金融体系。文章最后讨论了这些发现对于寻求保护和推进教育支出累进性收益的倡导者意味着什么。
