Assignment:
Funding Comparisons
There are so many differences between states and districts when it comes to funding. The
funding formulas, the way in which tax dollars are distributed, and how all of the funds are
utilized bring about great disparities in equitable education.
For this formative assessment, please provide a comparative analysis that focuses on the funding
formula for your state vs. another state. You can utilize the 50-State Comparison website as a
jumping off point to provide you with the basic information, but also reach further with some of
your own research.
This should be completed in APA format.
