This report from the Study of School-Level Expenditures presents findings on how state and local education expenditures at the school level vary within school districts. This study is not examining compliance with the current Title I comparability requirement, nor does it examine the comparability of resources between districts. Rather, it focuses on the question of whether Title I schools and higher-poverty schools have comparable levels of per-pupil expenditures as non-Title I schools and lower-poverty schools within the same district. More specifically, this report examines three questions: -To what extent do Title I schools have lower per-pupil expenditures from state and local funds, compared with non-Title I schools in their district? -To what extent do higher-poverty schools in Title I districts have lower per-pupil expenditures from state and local funds, compared with lower-poverty schools in their district? -Does the extent to which Title I schools and higher-poverty schools receive lower levels of state and local funding vary for different types of expenditures?
