How Do Districts Distribute Money to Schools? Splitting the Bill: A Bellwether Series on Education Finance Equity. #7
Indira Dammu; Bonnie O'Keefe; Jennifer O'Neal Schiess
Bellwether

Because of this discretion, even if districts receive funds through a highly equitable state system, there is no guarantee that districts will distribute funding equitably to schools. This brief discusses district budgeting methods.
