"Districts' Use of Weighted Student Funding Systems to Increase School Autonomy and Equity: Findings from a National Study. Volume 1," is intended to provide both practitioners and policymakers with detailed information about the design, implementation, and outcomes of weighted student funding (WSF) systems in the United States. Findings of the study may enable districts who are implementing WSF -- or considering whether to adopt a WSF system -- to learn from the examples and experiences of other districts who have pursued this approach to improving equity and governance in education. In addition, to the original report, this document contains the technical appendices and is intended to be the companion report to Volume 1. This report provides detailed supplemental information to the main report suitable for the interested reader. Appendix A provides short profiles of the WSF systems used in each case study district. Appendix B provides the statutory authorizing language for the Student-Centered Funding pilot. Appendix C provides a more detailed description of the study methodology, including sample selection and data collection and analysis methods for the surveys, interviews, extant documentation, and fiscal data. Appendix D provides supplemental data tables and charts. Appendix E provides the data collection surveys. A list of exhibits is also provided.
