Abstract

Although researchers and reformers have attacked inequalities in school expenditures throughout this century, funding patterns in noneducational programs for children and youth have been generally ignored. This article presents measures of expenditure inequalities among the 254 counties in Texas for a variety of income support, nutrition, child care, and juvenile justice programs and for several social and psychological services. In every case nonschool spending differences are greater than variations in school spending. The intrastate variations result from a variety of mechanisms, some of which are difficult to ascertain and others difficult to correct, but the magnitude of the inequalities suggests that the problem is too serious to ignore.
