Student-Based Funding in Oakland and San Francisco

American Institutes for Research (AIR) presents findings from a recent study of the implementation of a weighted student funding system in two California school districts.

Researchers will assess how the distribution of resources changed in these two districts after the move to student-based funding, and identify “lessons learned” for other districts and for state policy-makers who are considering more equitable and effective strategies for allocating scarce resources in California’s education system.

Panelists include:

• Jay Chambers, Senior Research Fellow, America Institutes for Research
• Larisa Shambaugh, Research Analyst, America Institutes for Research
• Jesse Levin, Principal Research Economist

Moderated by David N. Plank, Executive Director, PACE
