This analysis provides a way of comparing differing expenditure levels among schools within districts. It explores the difference in spending across schools and students in three mid- to large-size districts. It shows how traditional budgeting practices lead to substantial inequities among schools and examines the data for each district after the new budgeting policies were implemented, and explores the changes that take place with this bold strategic move. The analysis is in presentation format, so districts can use it to describe the advantages of student-based budgeting or as a template to create their own presentation on their own district funding.
