Equalizing regional cost differences in the distribution of state education aid
Abstract State education aid plans do not ensure attainment of horizontal equality defined as equal real purchasing power across regional districts. Adjustment is proposed primarily for demand factors with supply factors completely ignored. This paper focuses on the feasibility of adopting a real resource standard, specifically (1) how to define and quantify differences in real purchasing power, (2) how to incorporate these regional differences into a state aid plan, and (3) what to expect as the necessary aid adjustment. The measure of real resource inequality is limited here to regional differences in the supply price of teacher services in Wisconsin. The transformation of an education aid formula to incorporate these differences does, however, generalize to all general education aid programs. The adjustment of state the to account for regional differences in supply prices would lead to greater state aid for suburban and intermediate-size units relative to aid adjustment for urban and rural units. The aid adjustment for selected districts in Wisconsin is presented.
