State Formula Funding
State formula funding is too complex and has too many variables to be 100% successful for each school district in the state of Texas. Dr. Nick's did assist me in acquiring more knowledge than I initially started with. Although there are several issues impacting the state formula, I have addressed four. State funding is affected by WADA (weighted average daily attendance, ADA (average daily attendance), property taxes, allotments for special instructional programs, etc. If all of the variables were constant and equitable, maybe then, all of the districts in Texas would be funded equitably. Our legislatures need to develop a funding plan where all of districts would receive the same amount of funding for all of our students. Therefore, we would more apt to provide all of the students of Texas an equal, equitable, and adequate education.
