Pros And Cons Of Non-Title I Schools

All three of the policies are in some way a little bit different than the current system in place in New York. Delaware uses a three-tier system that allows the state and local government to share the responsibility of making decisions regarding distribution. Tier 1 provides funding for the cost for such things as teachers salaries and their benefits. In addition, this Tier determines the amount of money needed per pupil, meaning that the number of students in the district determines the amount of funds that a district received. Tier II: this is the amount of money given to the district by the state to cover such things as schools supplies, building maintenance and utilities. Tier III: this is the fund, provided to the districts base on their pupil number, and this helps to equalize things between poor and wealthy districts.

money for both school and states, because school can cut down the number of teachers to hire and

To Get A Better School System by Gene B. Preuss explores the journey of educational reform of Texas through one hundred years of inequality, threats, and disagreements. However, the Supreme Court decision regarding Morath vs. Texas Taxpayers has highlighted that even in 2016, additional reforms are needed. Funding for public education is not a new issue and has been a pressing matter since the creation of the Texas educational system. Throughout the process of educational reform, Texans have mainly fought over public education funding in regards to bridging the gap between the portion of funding spent on urban areas and the portion spent on rural areas as well as the small earnings that teachers make. Yet, another area of concern, as pointed out in the article “Texas Supreme Court Upholds School Funding System”, is the Texas Legislature which severely limits the number of available avenues that the state can take when addressing the issue of funding. Together, the past issues of how to fund education and the inequalities that arose in spending, combined with the current issue

Title 1 funds are intended to provide instruction and instructional support for these disadvantaged children so that they can master challenging curricula and meet state standards in core academic subjects. Title 1 is designed to support local school reform efforts tied to increasing student achievement. In order for a local school to qualify for Title 1 funds, at least 40% of students must come from low-income families. But this is where it gets tricky for White Pine County.

Oklahoma as of today is ranked 49th nationally in per-pupil expenditures and ranked 48th in teacher pay (Klein 2). Putting Oklahoma as one of the worst states to be educated in the United States. “Oklahoma is consistently ranked near the bottom for education funding and teacher pay” (“Investing In Education Is Key For Growth And Job Creation” 3). When there are state cuts that need to be made, the departments of education are one of the first that usually tend to suffer. Since the 2008 economic crisis, Oklahoma has continued to cut the budget for education; even though the economy has since then gotten better (Perry). Budget cuts in education affect all parts of the education process for the students. “Some school districts have ordered teacher layoffs and shorter sessions” (“Oklahoma Makes the Poor Poorer” par 4).Schools are now struggling to keep their heads above water. Each year from the budget cutting, schools have had to lay off teachers, cut entire programs, and have limited resources used to educate the students. Even the teachers’ retirement system is suffering, being one of the top poorly funded pension programs nationally (Ash par 3). Seeing as that the schools have to cut down classes and programs, administration has had no other choice than to increase class size, overwhelming teachers tremendously. “Oklahoma has 1,500 fewer classroom teachers and 40,000 more students since 2008-2009” (“Investing In Education Is Key For Growth

Indirectly, or directly, one can argue, public schools are controlled by the federal and state governments. Several issues have emerged, because of the conflict between federal and state requirements for education. “Under the Tenth Amendment, any authority not given specifically to the federal government is reserved to the states. Thus, the federal government has no authority to regulate education directly; that belongs to the states” (Underwood, n. d., p. 2). To get around this, the federal government controls the schools through funds for complying with certain initiatives, procedures, and policies (Underwood, n. d.). Ironically, both the state and federal levels of government hold the district liable for implementing different agendas and legal obligations. The federal government, however, can ensure that no citizen is denied their rights or privileges, even in a private institution, because of the Bill of Rights and other amendments. Failure to comply by these amendments or statutes can lead to the loss of federal funding and legal reproductions for schools.

Section A of Title I provides grants to states to distribute directly to school districts. This is by far the largest source of federal money for local schools. School districts

Essentially, Article VII makes the State and its legislators solely responsible for the success of public schools and their students. Why then are there so many differences in education budgets in the incredibly rich state of Texas? The underlying reason of such differences, lies in how Texas funds local schools. In the state of Texas, school and public buildings are funded primarily through property taxes. Arguably, this makes richer neighborhoods have more efficient school systems than lower income neighborhoods. Presently, the problem of funding lower income schools has been a topic of hot debate since the

Because iZone schools were once priority schools in the district which mean they were the lowest performing in the district I believe these schools should receive additional support in order to move these students academically. Sometimes we have the tendency to make decisions based on everyone, and it cannot be the case in every situation. When we are teaching our students we adjust our teaching to accommodate individual learning abilities. Some students may get more time with the teacher individually and other don't, is this ethical absolutely because the ones who struggle may need more one on one support than the ones who may have a question here and there. Since iZone schools were once the lowest performing in the school district, they

The IZone Schools receives several perks. The number one perk that most of us talk about is the teacher and principal incentive pay. Teachers have an opportunity to earn between $7500 to $15000 extra each year. Another perk is that each school has some autonomy to do what is in the best interest of their students (The Innovative Schools, n.d.). The IZone Schools do not have to work under the exact prescribed doctrine that the district and the state require. Last but not least, the schools are given additional funds to enhance or implement new innovative programs to engage students (The Innovative Schools, n.d.).

If a school receiving federal Title I funding failed to meet the target two years in a row, it would be provided technical assistance and its students would be offered a choice of other public schools to attend. Students in schools that failed to make adequate progress three years in a row also were offered supplemental educational services, including private tutoring. For continued failures, a school would be subject to outside corrective measures, including possible governance changes.

Education is the foundation to secure an individual in having a better future and a successful career in life. Public education primarily falls upon the state and local government to take charge of, which get divided up into local school districts that are managed by school boards. School boards are “ an elected body corporate which manages delegated powers in regards to the deliver of education service within a defined territory (Duhaime’s Law Dictionary)”. Each state “has its own department of education and laws regulating finance, the hiring of school personnel, student attendance, and curriculum (Corsi-Bunker, Antonella).

Since the early millennium there has been a call for public school reform. Whether it was a reformation in school funding and where to spend it, there was a need for it nationally. How would it be determined which school district would get the majority of the funding or would it come down to equal funding for all districts. States determine the amount of spending due to many factors such population, the size of the class and also the demographics. According to Mike Maciag on Governing.com, New York is spending more than $20,000 per student each year, counting teacher salaries, but Idaho and Ohio spend about one-third as much. Teachers with additional education and experience see better results in smaller states with less spending per student than those who spent a major amount per student. Additional factors that are listed on governing.com that contribute to state education spending were employee benefits. Benefits include pensions, health insurance and tuition reimbursements (Maciag). Rural areas with a higher populations drive up costs for transportation. Florida’s spending is under the national average but is high in education

Local control of school districts has proven to have mixed results. Local control allows districts to experiment and keeps problems from one district affecting another. At the same time however, local control keeps good ideas from spreading quickly. Local districts have produced a diverse range of possible solutions to the problems that public schools face. Unfortunately, the huge amount of diversity that is present from district to district has also made progress harder to measure.

What are the roles of federal and state government when it comes to American education? The roles of education have evolved from historic liabilities to current liabilities. There are many laws and cases that have had an impact on American education that still has a strong influence on education today such as the debate between church and state, racial desegregation, and education finances. Other impacts as relevant are testing standards and special education programs that have arisen from influences of federal concerns. The purpose of this paper is to examine the historical and current roles that the federal and state government has on education. Other factors to include are individual cases
