Majority black schools get more funding than majority white schools on average.
Federal dollars, yes I think that's true. Perhaps state funding as well. But the local funding is low in black neighborhoods because they just don't have a lot if tax revenue. I don't think funding is the answer. Many teachers don't want to deal with discipline problems in inner city schools.

You add up all of the funding and majority black schools get more per pupil on average than majority white schools. I've posted stats on this over and over in the past from Michigan.
With the extra covid money inner city Flint is currently getting $36,000 per pupil.

Wow, our district is highly rated, #4 in the state, 94% graduate in 4 years, with high school graduates going to college at the rate of over 80%, and yet and spends only $12,817 per student. That's about a 3rd of Flint.
Our demographics:
48.9% White
30.2% Asian
10.5% Black
8.2% Hispanic
0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native
0.2% Hawaiian of Pacific Islander
Your link didn't work but I see I misunderstood. You mean Biden's covid relief is giving predominately black schools more money. I thought you meant historically. Still we are talking about federal money which has never been equally distributed. And now Biden's equity agenda is going crazy, pouring money into schools. No desks of gold can make the pupils learn more.
Covid has caused inequities in education so we need to spend more on minorities in education is the messaging from the Biden White House.
No where in the messaging to they admit that:
Majority black schools get more funding than majority white schools on average.
It was Democrats that didn't follow the science and kept schools shutdown that impacted these minority students.
Asians actually outperform whites academically.
We have a Segregationist as President, who wrote into Law a crime bill that imprisoned blacks at a much higher rate as any other groups, I predict nothing but success in anything that Biden does including this
Folks...... like it or not, the larger and poorer a school system the longer they stayed away from the physical schoolhouse. Research showed almost from day one that poor and ESL students were being disproportionately impacted by the loss of in-person learning. What SHOULD have happened was that any Title I school with less than 110-125 in-person instructional days should have mandatory in-person summer school.
It’s not race, it’s socioeconomic factors. Notice that’s not just financial.

You can send them to top prep schools and it’s not going to make a bit of difference because learning is ‘white’ and they are too busy to do any studying or homework since their afternoons, evenings and overnights are for group brawls, shoplifting sprees and gang shootings.
