And about facilities?

 Note this from CBS News:

A CBS News analysis of federal data found school districts with more Black students were able to invest far less money in buildings than majority-White districts — and often-unequal funding practices by state governments can make the problem worse.  

While Massachusetts isn't mentioned in the piece, note that the way the state has structured funding for school buildings through the MSBA--one or two projects at a time--combined with Massachusetts children of color being concentrated in the double handful of cities we have, means that schools attended by majority children of color are much less likely to see major renovation and repair. There's just more schools in the cities.
