Introduction
Education finance sets the foundation for what is possible in every school in the country. Education finance equity is critical to leveling the playing field for marginalized students in under-resourced schools and communities. But in too many states, the education funding system remains inequitable, inadequate, and opaque to all but a few.
Bellwether’s work in state education finance equity aims to change the status quo, state by state, through:
- Analyses that shape the public conversation on education finance and help advocates and policymakers understand and improve finance policies in their states.
- Training sessions that equip state advocates with policy knowledge and data modeling skills to unlock the potential for policy reforms.
- Capacity support to bolster state leaders and advocates on the precipice of enacting big change.
