The politicization of Black youth in DC to validate the rise of policing and paramilitary forces evokes painful memories of the darkest parts of American education.

States often treat local funding inequality as a local problem. THIS COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG. (1) States have a constitutional responsibility to all their students;(2) the role of local $ is decided by state policy; (3) school district borders are set by state law. States can and must act. #edequity

With purposeful redistricting, states can boost the local tax base in school districts that used to rely very heavily on state aid, easing the pressure on the state budget without needing big cuts or rate hikes. It's good for state & district finances, AND for integration and justice. #edequity

In this analysis, we test three ways to redraw the lines, using machine-learning methods adapted from legislative redistricting to simulate borders that would give more diverse student populations fairer access to school funding. The improvements to fairness would be huge. #edequity #racialjustice
Redistricting School Systems Can Increase Funding Fairness and Decrease Segregation
A new report and interactive data tool show how specific redistricting choices can create fairer school systems for our children.
