How much money is enough for schools? How does it flow?
CONNECT THE DOTS SERIES | REPORT 3
Connecting the dots between education funding, spending & student outcomes
This is the third report in a three-report Connect the Dots series to demystify and democratize access to information about how Oregon’s statewide public K-12 education system is designed to get the outcomes it gets.
As the previous reports detail, Oregon is an outlier in many aspects of how education is governed, paid for, and run. While how much funding schools and education programs receive matters, State-level choices and systems incentivize inefficiencies that keep every dollar from maximizing gains in student achievement.
