School Business Insider Adequacy, Equity, and Effort: Breaking Down School Finance
Does money really matter in education? The data says yes — but how it’s distributed matters even more.
In this episode of School Business Insider, host John Brucato sits down with Dr. Bruce Baker, a leading expert in education finance, to break down the findings from his latest report, The Adequacy and Fairness of State School Finance Systems.
They explore national trends in school funding, the persistent inequities across districts and student populations, and why many states are still falling short of providing adequate resources for all students.
This conversation offers a data-driven look at the challenges facing public education — and what school business officials need to understand as they navigate funding, advocacy, and long-term planning.
