The most important incentive for serving the disadvantaged is extra funding. Federal and state categorical programs are supposed to provide extra funding, but as Marguerite Roza's research shows districts often under-fund poverty neighborhood schools. They do so by allocating the expensive teacher salaries elsewhere and also (unconsciously) favoring schools serving better-of parents in the allocation of central office resources.
