]]> Comment on Finding a Path Toward Equity: What States Can Learn from the Transformation of California’s School Funding Model by Jennifer Bestor https://www.wested.org/resources/path-toward-equity/#comment-171975 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:47:51 +0000 https://www.wested.org/?post_type=product&p=86521#comment-171975 “Finding a Path Toward Equity” is an interesting historical review of LCFF 1.0 — how California got to a weighted student formula with a nod to greater flexibility at the district level. It correctly captures the benefits of starting when a system is on the ropes. However, LCFF faces two serious immediate challenges. First, student test scores haven’t improved … yet? Systems don’t turn on a dime, so hopefully this is ahead, but that jury is still out. Second, LCFF does not recognize any cost-of-living difference between San Francisco (142% of the statewide average) and Bakersfield (76%). The suburban Bay Area has been back-filling its schools with parcel taxes, PTA dues, and educational foundation donations — while paying the lion’s share of the income tax that funds not just its own schools but most of the rest of the state. So equal has been achieve, but victory in terms of effectiveness and equity will be an open issue over the next few years.

As a researcher within a State Education Agency, I believe two steps are needed before we can truly make research a steady driver of educational improvement:

1. Governments and others funding education have to require real program evaluations, and
2. Evaluations should be designed to improve and use regular program administrative data for continuous evaluation of program effectiveness.
