    The document summarizes an article about a new school funding law that provides additional money for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth. However, the funding is allocated at the district level, which can create disparities between schools within the same district that have different populations of qualifying students. The author argues that to ensure students get the services they need, funding should be allocated directly to individual schools based on their specific populations of low-income and other qualifying students, rather than by district averages.
