In its proposed amendments to the Federal program for the education of disadvantaged children, under chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act, the Reagan Administration has recommended that a 2 percent "absorption factor" be applied to the allocation of funds. Thus, children counted for the distribution of basic grants would be considered only to the extent that they exceed 2 percent of a county's total school-age population. This report provides an analysis of the effects of this proposed formula change.
