These local decisions are described as irrational and unfair school district practices in the allocation of resources between individual schools. In this article, we accept the basic contention of within-district inequities. But we offer a critique of the empirical basis for the claims that within-district gaps are the dominant form of persistent disparities in school finance, finding instead that claims to this effect are largely based on one or a handful of deeply flawed analyses. Next, we present an empirical analysis, using national data, of 16-year trends (1990 to 2005) and recent patterns (2005 to 2007) of between-district disparities, finding that state efforts to resolve between-district disparities are generally incomplete and inadequate and that in some states between-district disparities have actually increased over time.

Las decisiones locales deasignación de recursos entre escuelas de un distrito se describen como prácticas irracionales einjustas. En este artículo, aceptamos la tesis fundamental de las desigualdades dentro de los distritos. pero ofrecemos una crítica al sustento empírico de la afirmación que las brechas dentro de los distritos son la forma dominante de las disparidades que persisten en el financiamiento de las escuelas ya que esas afirmaciones se basan principalmente en un pequeño grupo de estudios con serios problemas. A continuación, presentamos un análisis empírico, utilizando datos nacionales, tendencias registradas a lo largo de 16-años (1990 a 2005) y patrones más recientes (2005 a 2007) sobre las disparidades dentro de los distritos. Concluimos que los esfuerzos de los estados para resolver esas disparidades entre los distritos son generalmente incompletos e insuficientes y que enalgunos estados, las disparidades entre los distritos aumentaron.  \nPalabras-clave: financiaciamiento; equidad; disparidades entre distritos; disparidades dentro distritos.  \nCelebrações precoces: A persistência das disparidades de financiamento inter-distritales  \nResumo: Duas perspectivas inter-relacionadas sobre o financiamento das escolas são  \nouvidas freqüentemente: que os estados têm amplamente cumpridos  \nsuas obrigações para compensar as disparidades entre os distritos escolares locais  \ne que a maioria das diferenças que permanecem são aqueles que persistem dentro dos distritos escolares.
