Education Funding Equity

All children need and deserve well-resourced schools, but not all children are in school districts that have the funding required to help them succeed. While this can be due to inadequate or unfair state or federal funding, often, budget disparities arise from differences in school districts’ local revenue, which tend to reflect the wealth inequality of segregated neighborhoods.

The Education Funding Equity Initiative analyzes and communicates the impact of such school funding policies, pointing the way toward better approaches. We conduct quantitative, qualitative, and geospatial analysis; craft policy recommendations; and offer counsel to policymakers and advocates working on school funding issues.
