</b>Stealth Inequities in K-12 Public Schools: How Fundraising PTAs Entrench Hierarchies and Exploring Pathways Toward Equity</span></p>
</div>
<div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 18.3458px;"><b>Description:
</b>Decades of legislative and judicial efforts have resulted in more equitably distributed government revenues across K-12 public schools, which has weakened the link between community wealth and public school resources. At the same time, fundraising PTAs
(Parent Teacher Associations, Organizations, and “Friends Of” groups), non-profit organizations providing supplemental private resources to especially more affluent public schools, have grown dramatically in number and size. Fundraising PTAs are unaccounted
for in school funding research and policy, representing a hidden source of inequities in resources across public schools. Across quantitative and qualitative explorations, I interweave stratification economics and racialized organizations theorizing to better
understand the realities of fundraising PTAs at public schools. I use quasi-experimental techniques to test the literature's dominant presumption that fundraising PTAs plug government budget holes. On average, changed government spending does not lead to shifts
in PTA spending. However, there is differential responsiveness across district racial contexts. I explore this further in descriptive analyses of within-district PTA resource distribution, finding economic and racial inequities only revealed by analyzing across
schools in the same district. Finally, I study a setting where there has been a recent effort to lessen within-district PTA resource inequities. I apply sensemaking and frame analysis to analyze interviews I conducted with parents and caregivers in a district
with a grassroots effort to pool and redistribute PTA funds. I find that the initiative gained coalitional support by accommodating a range of solutions framings, which allowed a broad set of advocates to negotiate resonance with the initiative’s approach.
Throughout these investigations into fundraising PTAs, I reveal patterned inequities across hidden funds at public schools and I surface portable lessons in terms of policy and advocacy efforts that can lessen the inequitable influence of these impactful supplemental
resources.</span></p>
