    Revisiting Ethnic Differences in In-Person Learning During 2021-2022

    In the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic closed schools throughout the United States, forcing a shift to remote learning that lasted the rest of the academic year. In the fall of 2020, schools reopened using combinations of in-person, hybrid, and remote learning models with great geographic variability in access to in-person learning. A growing body of research shows important racial differences in the use of in-person learning during the 2020-2021 school year, with Black and Hispanic students returning to in-person learning at lower rates than white students (Camp and Zamarro, 2021; Kurmann and Lalé, 2022). This in-person learning gap raises serious equity concerns as emerging research illustrates how remote learning was associated with both larger decreases in academic performance during the pandemic and a widening racial achievement gap (Goldhaber et al., 2022)

    In this report, we investigate the status of the TPS-charter school funding gap a year after the full implementation of the LCFF. We use official financial documents from the California Department of Education and LAUSD to account for every dollar TPS and charter schools received in the 2019-20 school year, including in-kind services

    Charter School Funding: Little Progress Towards Equity in the City

    Charter schooling has grown in popularity since the first charter school opened in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1992. Nearly 3.5 million students in the United States attended a public charter school in 2019-20. Our team has studied charter school funding equity since 2002-03 and most recently found that, in 2017-18, charter schools received, on average, 33 percent less funding than traditional public schools (TPS) in 18 cities, including Atlanta, Boston, Camden, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Indianapolis, Houston, Little Rock, Los Angeles, Memphis, New Orleans, New York City, Oakland, Phoenix, San Antonio, Tulsa, and Washington, DC. Each of these cities either has a large charter sector or potential for significant charter growth. In this study, we examine charter school funding equity in those 18 cities using 2019-20 data, the most recent available. We use official school district and state budget documents to capture every dollar flowing to schools, including in-kind services. We answer the following questions: What is the difference in per-pupil revenue between TPS and charter schools in major US cities in the 2019-20 school year? Do differences in student demographics explain any funding differences between TPS and charter schools? Does the relationship between TPS and charter school funding vary across categories of school revenue? Which cities are driving the results
