Money Isn't Magic: How Schools Spend Matters | Charleston News
Description
Is more school funding really the answer? New research challenges the myth that throwing cash at schools automatically boosts student success — arguing instead that how money is spent and how schools are held accountable matter far more. High-poverty districts often spend more per student than wealthy ones, yet lag behind academically. Charter schools, under pressure to perform or risk closure, often deliver more with less. Traditional public schools, meanwhile, can get more funding without facing the same performance stakes. The real breakthrough? Aligning resources and incentives with student outcomes — not just budget size.
