What Constitutes an Adequate Education?

February 20 , 2006

What does it cost to adequately fund K-12 education in Wisconsin? With funding from the Rockefeller Foundation of New York, Allan Odden and colleagues in WCER’s Consortium for Policy Research in Education are determining the costs of educational adequacy. The project is identifying educational programs and strategies that combined will provide every student in the state with an equal opportunity for a sound basic education. Reports are available in PDF here. They include elaborations of technology costs, school uses of resources and possible resource allocation, flow of dollars using an attendance count of students, and expenditures by function.
