Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there are many factors that determine the quality of a public school, inequitable and insufficient school funding is a major obstacle to improving public education for all children. When it comes to funding public education, Illinois has a serious problem. Not only does the state limit its commitment to adequately fund public schools, but it also puts the burden of funding on local school districts. As a result, there is a wide disparity between wealthy and poor districts. Additionally, the lack of adequate funding has resulted in local school districts running up huge deficits and debts, forcing almost 80 percent of all school districts in Illinois to operate in the red today. Because of its funding crisis and the way in which the state chooses to fund its public education, Illinois schools are struggling financially and are forced to make impossible choices that lower the quality of education they provide. Local districts have had to close schools, eliminate teaching positions, increase class sizes, eliminate support services like teachers' aides, and reduce extracurricular and athletic options for students. While these cuts are an effort to save money, they come at the cost of a quality education. Since education in Illinois is already polarized by wealthy and poor districts, students in predominantly low-income schools are going to fall further behind. Education is often viewed as the great equalizer, creating equal opportunities for all students to develop into participatory and responsible citizens, regardless of ethnicity, race or socioeconomic backgrounds. However, in Illinois, this is clearly not the case. Quality education is available to those who can afford it rather than an opportunity for all students. Critics of the state's school funding system argue that the funding mechanism does not support the goals of NCLB. Instead, by favoring the wealthier school districts, Illinois leaves the poor ones behind to be penalized under NCLB's rigorous accountability measures. This inequity will severely impact the state in the long run, creating an ill-prepared, less-educated workforce. Rather than addressing the funding problems and educational inequities that have plagued the state's public schools for decades, the state continues to tragically turn its back on the majority of Illinois' school children. While many factors affect education quality, adequate funding is absolutely necessary to guarantee a quality education. By reforming Illinois' tax system and reducing its reliance on local property taxes, the state can make meaningful progress toward providing every child with a high-quality public education regardless of his or her address.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How inequality was forged, fought over, and forgotten through public policy in metropolitan Chicago. As in many American metropolitan areas, inequality in Chicagoland is visible in its neighborhoods. These inequalities are not inevitable, however. They have been constructed and deepened by public policies around housing, schooling, taxation, and local governance, including hidden state government policies. In Structuring Inequality, historian Tracy L. Steffes shows how metropolitan inequality in Chicagoland was structured, contested, and naturalized over time even as reformers tried to change it through school desegregation, affordable housing, and property tax reform. While these efforts had modest successes in the city and the suburbs, reformers faced significant resistance and counter-mobilization from affluent suburbanites, real estate developers, and other defenders of the status quo who defended inequality and reshaped the policy conversation about it. Grounded in comprehensive archival research and policy analysis, Structuring Inequality examines the history of Chicagoland’s established systems of inequality and provides perspective on the inequality we live with today.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “An impassioned book, laced with anger and indignation, about how our public education system scorns so many of our children.”—The New York Times Book Review In 1988, Jonathan Kozol set off to spend time with children in the American public education system. For two years, he visited schools in neighborhoods across the country, from Illinois to Washington, D.C., and from New York to San Antonio. He spoke with teachers, principals, superintendents, and, most important, children. What he found was devastating. Not only were schools for rich and poor blatantly unequal, the gulf between the two extremes was widening—and it has widened since. The urban schools he visited were overcrowded and understaffed, and lacked the basic elements of learning—including books and, all too often, classrooms for the students. In Savage Inequalities, Kozol delivers a searing examination of the extremes of wealth and poverty and calls into question the reality of equal opportunity in our nation’s schools. Praise for Savage Inequalities “I was unprepared for the horror and shame I felt. . . . Savage Inequalities is a savage indictment. . . . Everyone should read this important book.”—Robert Wilson, USA Today “Kozol has written a book that must be read by anyone interested in education.”—Elizabeth Duff, Philadelphia Inquirer “The forces of equity have now been joined by a powerful voice. . . . Kozol has written a searing exposé of the extremes of wealth and poverty in America’s school system and the blighting effect on poor children, especially those in cities.”—Emily Mitchell, Time “Easily the most passionate, and certain to be the most passionately debated, book about American education in several years . . . A classic American muckraker with an eloquent prose style, Kozol offers . . . an old-fashioned brand of moral outrage that will affect every reader whose heart has not yet turned to stone.”—Entertainment Weekly
