Equity in School Finance

Equity in school finance refers to the fair distribution of resources and funding among schools so that all students, regardless of their background or location, have equal access to quality education. This involves addressing disparities that arise from differences in local wealth, property taxes, and funding mechanisms. The goal is to ensure that every child has the necessary support, facilities, and opportunities to succeed, promoting a more just educational system that values all learners equally. Achieving equity often requires targeted investments in underfunded schools and programs that assist disadvantaged students.
