Abstract

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 introduced a program to provide financial assistance to school districts in relation to their numbers of low-income pupils. In the fiscal year 1977, this Title I program provided more than $2.2 billion of aid. There is now substantial debate in the Congress and the administration, as well as in education circles, about the desirability of changing the block grant system that is currently used by the Title Iprogram. Thepresent article employs a behavioral simulation model and data on 4,693 school districts to provide new information about the expenditure effects of the current program and three major alternatives.
