Last week I listened in on the Department of Education’s contentious negotiated rulemaking session. The topic of debate was the “supplement-not-supplant” provision of the Title I program—a bedrock of the newly reauthorized Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) designed to help low-income students by funneling aid to school districts based on student demographics. At issue is whether federal regulations should require recipient districts to divvy up their funds so that their high-poverty schools get as many dollars per student as their schools with more affluent students.
