What are some effective case studies in education funding?

There are several notable case studies in education funding. For instance, the Chicago Public Schools' funding reform in 2016 aimed to address equity issues by redistributing funds based on student needs.

Can you tell me more about the Chicago case study?

Sure! The Chicago case study focused on implementing a weighted student funding model, which allocated more resources to schools with higher needs, such as those serving low-income students.

What were the outcomes of this funding reform?

The outcomes included improved student performance in underfunded schools, increased graduation rates, and a more equitable distribution of resources across the district.

Are there other examples of successful funding models?

Yes, another example is the 'Student-Based Budgeting' model used in New York City, which also emphasizes equity by funding schools based on student demographics.
