education forthe state of Arkansas.Establishedas a land grant university,itsmandate was threefold:to teachstudents,conduct research,andperform service and outreach.  \nThe College of Education and Health Professions established the Department of EducationReform in 2005.The department's mission is to advance education and economicdevelopment by focusing on the improvement of academic achievement in elementaryand secondary schools.It conducts research and demonstration projects in five primaryareas of reform:teacher quality,leadership,policy,accountability,and school choice.  \nThe School Choice Demonstration Project (SCDP),based within the Department ofEducation Reform,is an education research center devoted to the non-partisan studyof the effects of school choice policy and is staffed by leading school choice researchersand scholars.Led by Dr.Patrick J.Wolf,Distinguished Professor of Education Reformand Endowed 21st Century Chair in School Choice,SCDP's national team of researchers,institutional research partners and staff are devoted to the rigorous evaluation of schoolchoice programs and other school improvement efforts across the country.The SCDPis committed to raising and advancing the public's understanding of the strengths andlimitations of school choice policies and programs by conducting comprehensive researchon what happens to students,families,schools,and communities when more parents areallowed to choose their child's school.  \nExecutive Summary  \nOur data regarding thecharter school funding gapwere carefully collected fromofficial state documentsand audited school reportsregarding the 2017-18 schoolyear,which is equivalent tothe 2018 fiscal year.Becausewe must wait a few years forrevenue data to be completeand reliable,our study isnecessarily retrospective.As aresult,we describe our findingsin the past tense,as they reflectconditions during the 2017-18school year-the schoolyearwith the most recent andreliable data available to date.In the report's conclusion,wedescribe recent policy changesin some of the cities that likelyhave affected their currentcharter school funding gaps.  \nWe define a public charterschool as any school that (1)operates based on a formalcharter in place of directschool district managementand (2)reports its finances  \nCharter School Funding:Inequity Surges in the Cities  \nPublic charter schools increasingly are part of both the national conversation about education policyand the local urban scene in America.Previous studies of public charter schools have examinedtheir achievement effects focused on both the state and metropolitan levels,and funding disparitiesfocused on the state levels.This report is the latest update to a series of studies of funding inequitiesconcentrating on revenue disparities between charters and traditional public schools where chartersare most common:metropolitan areas across the country.The 18 urban areas that primarily informour study include Atlanta,Boston,Camden,Chicago,Denver,Detroit,Houston,Indianapolis,LittleRock,Los Angeles,Memphis,New Orleans,New York City,Oakland,Phoenix,San Antonio,Tulsa,andWashington,D.C.Because these locations include fourteen for which we have at least some priordata,we are able to examine funding inequities over time.  \nDid public charter schools
