A School Funding Formula is a method used by governments to allocate financial resources to public schools. This formula typically considers various factors, such as the number of students enrolled, the specific needs of those students, and local economic conditions. The goal is to ensure that schools receive adequate funding to provide quality education. Different states may have their own unique formulas, which can lead to variations in funding levels across districts. Some formulas aim to address disparities by providing additional support to schools in low-income areas or those with higher numbers of students requiring special services, such as special education or English language learning.
