Abstraksi Narasi : Chapter 2 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act is a centerpiece of the Reagan Administration`s education policy. The enactment of Chapter 2 consolidated funding from 32 categorical programs into an educational block grant that is distributed to state educational agencies and from the states to local school districts. The funds may be used for any of the purposes supported by the antecedent program. Based on nationally representative data collected for a study of local operations under Chapter 2, this paper examines three topics related to the block grant: the distribution of Chapter 2 funds among school districts, the patterns of local uses of these funds, and possible explanations for the spending patterns for the first 3 years of the block grant (school years 1982-83, 1983-84, and 1984-85).

Abstraksi Narasi : This longitudinal study examines the determinants of higher education revenues per capita, lower education revenues per capita, and the ratio of the two over a 30-year period. Demographic variables (percentage of population in the appropriate age group, education of the adult population , etc.) are unimportant, as is personal income per capita. The most important variables are a historical one and two political variables. The historical variable, density of population in 1860, measures the propensity of states to develop private higher education before passage of the Morril Act. The fact that the two political variables (percentage of taxes raised at the state level and taxes as a percentage of income) are important implies that the dependent variables are capable of being manipulated by the political process.

Abstraksi Narasi : This paper explores variations in the employment of minority teachers in elementary and secondary public, Catholic, and private (nonCatholic) schools. Our data are drawn from a survey of public and nonpublic schools in the six counties surrounding San Fransisco Bay. The survey was conducted during 1981-82 by the Institute for Research on Educational Finance and Governance, Stanford University. We analyze several determinants of minority employment in public and private schools to explain variation among the three sectors. Subsequently, we present a more detailed analysis of the different employment experiences of black and Hispanic teachers within two of these sectors, public and Catholic schools. Based on these analyses, we conclude with a discussion of implications for public policy.
