\nPublic schools have faced three distinct challenges since the coronavirus pandemic began \u2013 scrambling to make sure that\u00a0low-income children don\u2019t go hungry<\/a>, teaching students remotely who\u00a0lack internet access<\/a>\u00a0and bracing for dramatically\u00a0smaller budgets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Congress tried to help in the US$2 trillion economic relief package known as the\u00a0Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security<\/a>, or CARES Act, by designating\u00a0$13.5 billion<\/a>\u00a0for public schools. The money was supposed to be distributed to school districts based on the number of low-income students they enroll. A\u00a0new directive<\/a>\u00a0from the U.S. Department of Education, however, tells districts to share far more of the money than expected with\u00a0private and religious school students, even though fewer than 5%<\/a>\u00a0of those children are poor.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a scholar of\u00a0federal education policy and history<\/a>\u00a0who has\u00a0testified before a congressional commission<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0federal courts<\/a>\u00a0in disputes over federal funds. In my view, this new policy runs counter to what Congress has tried to achieve in public education for the past 50 years and it directly contradicts the CARES Act.<\/p>\n

A new formula<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The funding is supposed to stabilize public school budgets as\u00a0local and state revenues<\/a>, the\u00a0primary sources of U.S. public school funding<\/a>, decline and the\u00a0costs of responding<\/a>\u00a0to the pandemic increase.<\/p>\n

Schools from coast to coast are\u00a0buying computers<\/a>\u00a0and scrambling to get low-income students the bandwidth they need for distance learning.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0relief package specified<\/a>\u00a0that the money would go to school districts based on the number of low-income students they serve. Those are children who are eligible for\u00a0free and reduced-priced meals<\/a>. Students whose families are below 185% of the official poverty line \u2013 which as of 2020 stands at\u00a0$26,200 per year for a family of four<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 fall into this category.<\/p>\n

School districts are also to reserve a portion of those funds to ensure equitable services for any low-income students who may attend private schools. That\u2019s in keeping with a practice in place since Congress passed the\u00a0Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The department\u2019s new guidance calls for a different method. Public school systems are being told to share these new federal funds based on the total number of students who attend private schools \u2013 rather than the much smaller number of low-income students in these schools. In other words, public school districts are being told to reserve funds for roughly\u00a06 million<\/a>\u00a0total private school students, of which only an estimated\u00a0300,000<\/a>\u00a0are low-income children.<\/p>\n

By contrast,\u00a052.3%<\/a>\u00a0of the nation\u2019s\u00a050 million<\/a>\u00a0public school students are low-income.<\/p>\n

In Mississippi, for instance, 71%<\/a>\u00a0of public school students are poor, and nationwide, on average, family\u00a0incomes in private schools are as much as 88% higher<\/a>\u00a0than those in public schools.<\/p>\n

Moreover, private schools, unlike public schools, are already eligible for\u00a0federal payroll protection<\/a>\u00a0funding under the CARES Act because they are considered small businesses.<\/p>\n

Shortchanging the poor<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Only about 10%<\/a>\u00a0of the nation\u2019s students attend private schools. This is something Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has long aimed to change. She has consistently supported policies that would\u00a0increase public funding for private school enrollment<\/a>\u00a0in the form of vouchers and\u00a0tax credits<\/a>. From this perspective, the current policy \u2013 while inconsistent with the law, equity and history \u2013 makes sense. But this time, DeVos\u2019 private school policy would directly shortchange poor students.<\/p>\n

The accounting method will require public schools \u2013 which are only receiving new federal money based on their poor students \u2013 to reserve multiple times more money for private schools than the CARES Act requires.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Passaic, New Jersey<\/a>, where the majority of public school students are poor, the district will need to reserve $1.4 million instead of $300,000 for private school students, according to an education advocacy group in that state.\u00a0Montana estimates<\/a>\u00a0it will need to reserve $1.5 million for private schools rather than $206,469 it believes the law requires, The New York Times reports.<\/p>\n

This will only increase the challenges that the highest poverty schools face. Before the pandemic even hit, public schools serving the highest-poverty communities had\u00a0$1,000 less per student<\/a>\u00a0than those educating affluent students. These shortfalls are likely to expand based on current economic conditions.<\/p>\n

During the Great Recession<\/a>, states like North Carolina and Florida cut public school funding by 20% or more in three years. Poor communities there and elsewhere were the\u00a0hardest hit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0practical effects<\/a>\u00a0of these cuts were increased class sizes, unfilled teacher vacancies, higher percentages of uncertified teachers and schools where critical support staff like nurses and guidance counselors were too often missing. Some school districts were in\u00a0such dire straits that they teetered on bankruptcy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0considered closing<\/a>\u00a0some schools.<\/p>\n

Fixing the problem<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One solution to the current problem is for Congress to reiterate its original intent even more clearly. The\u00a0$3 trillion relief bill<\/a>\u00a0passed by the House includes a provision that would do that.<\/p>\n

The quicker option is for Congress to use its oversight powers to force the Education Department to concede that it made an error. That happened earlier this year when it reversed course on its plan to change the method for allocating funds to\u00a0rural schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those options, however, can be slow and uncertain. That\u2019s one reason\u00a0Indiana State Superintendent of Public Instruction<\/a>\u00a0Jennifer McCormick went ahead and told her school districts to ignore the guidance this week.<\/p>\n

The law is on McCormick\u2019s side. Her action offered a clear path forward for state and local officials across the nation who don\u2019t believe that waiting for the political process to correct itself is fair to the country\u2019s children who need help now.<\/p>\n
