- Abstract
- The American education system has a history of failing to provide adequate services and funding to low-income students and students of color. This study looks in depth at the transportation policies and redistricting process of three high and low-poverty school district pairs who share a geographic border. Through analyzing school district finance allocation data and conducting interviews with school district officials, I find that financing student transportation is a complicated and political issue. I find evidence to support the idea that transportation policies of whiter districts have a racially derived component and aide in keeping the district inaccessible to students of color. I conclude with recommendations for future research and policy action.
