Examining Compensatory Education Allotment in Texas School Districts

Personal Input for Part 6:
Compensatory Education Allotment:
District 1: $ 3,835,006
District 2: $ 633,369

In reference to the Summary of Finance there is a large difference between district 1 and 2 in the areas of Compensatory Education. District 1 receives over 3.8 million dollars funding for Compensatory Education, while District 2 receives only 633 thousand dollars. This shows a significant difference of approximately 3.1 million dollars of revenue. This defines a large need of funds to enhance education specific to related needs of the students.

Group Response to Part 6:
In reference to the Summary of Finance there is a large difference between district 1 and 2 in the areas of Compensatory Education. The Compensatory Education Allotment for District 1 is $3,201,637 more than that of District 2. This shows a significant difference of approximately 3.1 million dollars of revenue. If you take into account the likely needs of a campus with a high number of ELL students and a low socio-economic status, funds such as these could have a huge impact on the education of those students. The resources that they need would be able to be purchased and used to benefit the students in the district.
