School+Funding

School Funding Equity: as presented in the glossary suggests neutrality in the district’s tax base, relating to its ability to fund education in the district. Students from rich districts should not have any economic advantages in funding. Adequacy: means that the funds that are available are sufficient to meet the need of state accreditation standards. Equality: districts receive funding equal to the need of the students being served. The distribution of funding must take into account student differences and school district characteristics. Students with special needs should also have financial support so that they can perform on the same level as their peers.
