To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is shown by the fact that a change in the formula to remedy the second cause has only a small effect on the measure of dispersion in reimbursable expendi- tures per public school attending child. The two current proposals for new formula parameters both incor- porate a change in the constraints mentioned above. In this sense the proposals can be said to be better than the existing NESDEC formula system. However, our results also clearly show that the change in the size -35- of the average ...percentage of school reimbursable expenditures that the state will support has no effect on the equalization properties of the for- mulas. Our analysis of the effects of underfunding indicate that one might obtain quite the opposite effect of equalization. An increase in the average coverage in the formula might increase the chances of the formula being underfunded. Our results show that underfunding has a disequali- zing effect on the distribution of state aid funds. Let us now focus on equalization in terms of actual expenditures.
