team will investigate how these systems
for funding schools have been
implemented, the benefits in terms of
enhanced school funding equity and
improved resource allocation practices
through more equitable distributions of
funding to schools and increased
principal autonomy, and the challenges
each district may have faced in
undertaking such a reform. To this end,
the study team will conduct site visits
to a set of nine case study districts that
will involve in-person interviews with
district officials and school staff
involved in WSF system administration.
In addition, the study team will collect
and review relevant extant data (budget
and audited expenditure files) and
administer surveys to a nationally
representative sample of principals and
school district administrators.
