| Abstract | This study examines how five diverse California elementary schools—two underperforming and three high achieving, with statistically significant subgroups of English Learner, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and minority students—have allocated resources to improve student achievement. The applied research contributes new information to the current body of knowledge regarding Adequacy Oriented School Finance Reform (Picus, Odden, Aportela, Mangan, & Goetz, 2008).; The goal of this project is to collect school data from the 2007-2008 academic year and examine how site level financial allocations have changed in response to the 2008-2009 California education budget cuts and how those reallocations have impacted programs at the five elementary schools. These findings will then be overlaid with the Evidence Based Model (Odden & Picus, 2008) to validate the Model’s theory of improved student achievement. |
