Like most issues related to education, categorical funding has its supporters and opponents. Proponents argue that allocating money to special programs—for example, interventions for struggling students and programs for gifted and talented students—helps schools and districts meet state performance goals and ensures the money is spent on establishe...
Previous research—while limited—shaped our design and framework. Most of the research on categorical funding is focused on California, which at times has had more than 60 different categorical programs. But in one of the most relevant studies of categorical funding—“State Policies That Pay: A Survey of School Finance Policies and Outcomes’’—educati...
While the use of categorical-funding programs varies considerably across all states, the average number of categorical grants has dropped since FY 2008
There is currently a wide range in the use of categorical funding across states. States employed an average of 16 categorical programs in the 2012-13 school year, a drop from 25 in FY 2008. Half of the states used between 1 to 10 programs. The average dollar amount allocated through categorical funding was nearly $1 billion. South Carolina reported allocating the largest percentage of their state education budget to categorical programs—55 percent. Iowa had the greatest number of categorical...
Categorical funding is used to support a range of priorities with the most common being special education programs and student transportation
We examined the different programs for which states use categorical funding. We were interested only in state programs, not federal programs such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, or Title I, because federal programs offer uniform funding across the nation. Based on our review of the prior research, we asked survey respondents to identify the categorical programs in their state from a list provided. We broke programs into five groups: 1. Schoolwide categorical progr...
There has been a downward trend in states’ use of categorical grant programs in recent years
We took advantage of the fact that a similar study of categorical programs had been done for fiscal year 2008 by Hightower, Mitani, and Swanson to provide a longitudinal look at the use of categorical funding. The earlier study was also conducted as a survey administered to state education agencies and similarly asked how many categorical funding programs the state employed, the program categories, and the dollars allocated to such programs. As such, we examined whether the use of categorical...
Categorical funding has its detractors and its supporters, at both the state and district levels. While state-level survey respondents generally felt that categorical funding helps meet student improvement targets without limiting districts’ flexibility or ability to innovate, district interviewees noted the benefit of categorical funding in settin...
The FEFP is the primary mechanism for funding the operating costs of Florida school districts. As will be noted, there are other sources of funding; however, the FEFP is the foundation for financing Florida’s K-12 educational programs. A key feature of the FEFP is that it bases financial support for education upon the individual student

Many states do not have a uniform funding model for all higher education sectors (e.g., universities and community colleges). Therefore, when applicable, we will discuss the division of higher education sectors in each state and the differences in how each is funded. This report proceeds as follows: Section I gives a brief overview of the ...
