Abstract
The distribution of state aidfor public education in New York is the result of a combination ofpolitical and educational concerns. They influence the amount of school aid distributed, the pattern of aid distribution among school districts, the types of programs funded, and the accountability required for these funds. This article focuses on the forces that influence the split between general state aid and targeted state aid. General aid refers to aid that districts may use for any purpose consistent with local priorities or needs. Targeted aid is money provided by the state to a district for a particular purpose. When a district accepts targeted aid, it must agree to spend the funds in accord with specific statutes or regulations. Considerations of equity, mechanics of state aid distribution, and the history of the development of school aid legislation are also discussed in this article.
