Student funding formula
The student funding formula is a method used by governments or educational authorities to determine how much money each school or student should receive. It considers factors like the number of students, their specific needs (such as special education or free meals), and local costs of living. The goal is to allocate funds fairly, ensuring schools have enough resources to provide quality education tailored to their students. This formula helps distribute funding equitably across different schools and regions based on their unique circumstances.
