Federal Funding and the Legacy of Inequity w/ Dr. Abdul-Khaliq! - AOTA Episode 97

Making sense of school funding formulas can be tricky, especially when considering the multiple categories of spending that have been set up to try to address social inequities. This week we take a look at federal education spending and the legacy of marginalization that has left so many communities of color behind. Dr. Malik Abdul-Khaliq, a Federal Program Monitoring team leader at the California Department of Education, joins the show to help us explore this topic! But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a new study about the harmful educational impact of polluted air and a look at what comes next after California screens more and more students for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
