Equity in School Funding

Equity in school funding means providing financial resources to schools in a way that addresses the specific needs of their students. It recognizes that not all schools have the same challenges or resources, so funding should be allocated to ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education. This can involve giving more support to schools in low-income areas, where students may require additional services and opportunities to achieve similar outcomes as those in wealthier neighborhoods. Ultimately, equity aims to level the playing field for all students, regardless of their background or circumstances.
