SB 1403/HB 4022 Evidence-Based School Funding Solution

What is an Evidence-Based Approach to Adequacy and Equity?

A school funding model that identifies how much money per pupil is needed in each district for every child to have access to a high quality education.

10

How is this approach different from previous attempts in Illinois?

11

Costs out strategies based on current practice and research

Objective, transparent model that allows schools and districts to see what staff their allocated resources should buy them

Focuses the conversation on what it takes to sufficiently support students and teachers.

Is not just a random dollar amount or student weighting that does not ensure sufficient resources to deliver services.

What are some of the research elements included in the evidence-based model?

Intensive teacher training Trainers Adequate professional

development days for teachers

Instructional coaches in all schools, all levels

Extended learning strategies

Tutoring, extended days, academic summer school, ESL help for ELL students, special education

Full day kindergarten Smaller classes in K-3: 15 Critical pupil support /

parent outreach Technology for schools

What are the Potential Effectsof the Research Based Recommendations?

Note: An effect size of .25 is

statistically significant. An effect of 1.0

would result in a performance change

from the 50th to 83rd percentile.

How would it be implemented through SB1403?

1. A professional judgment panel of leading educators and policymakers would update a 2008 study that was completed in 2010.

a. Results in detailed staffing and program costs for prototypic schools

2. The prototypic model is applied to real schools with costs differentiated based on:

a. local demographics,

b. student needs and

c. regional cost differences (wage index) 14

How would it be implemented through SB1403?

5. A local minimum share is determined.

6. A statewide hold harmless would be implemented to ensure that no district receives less state resources than were received in 2014-15.

7. State appropriation requirements would be calculated by aggregating the state per pupil portion for all schools in a district and all districts in the state.

8. A scalable approach to required appropriations is calculated to result in full funding of adequacy by the 2020-21 school year.

15

Conclusion

The evidence-based adequacy model does not cap spending at an adequate amount; local districts are free to spend above the adequacy amount if they choose.

The intent of the evidence-based adequacy model applied to Illinois is to provide a level of fiscal resources to enable all students to perform at high levels.
