School District Resource Allocation
Data-driven funding distribution tool that allocates educational resources based on student population, performance metrics, and specialized program needs.
Solution
This education funding allocation system automates the distribution of resources to schools using multiple factors to ensure equitable and targeted support. The system first determines base funding using student population size and school type, applying higher per-student rates to smaller schools to account for fixed operational costs. It then adjusts allocations based on academic performance, providing additional support to underperforming schools to help close achievement gaps.
The system also recognizes specialized educational needs by allocating supplemental funding for special programs. Schools receive dedicated resources for special education students, English language learners, gifted education, STEM initiatives, and arts programs. Each supplemental allocation is calculated based on specific program enrollment numbers or fixed amounts for infrastructure-based programs. This multi-factor approach ensures resources are distributed according to actual student needs while supporting strategic educational initiatives.
How it works
The decision graph evaluates school data through three sequential steps:
- Base Allocation: Analyzes student population and school type to determine the foundational funding amount, applying higher per-student rates to smaller schools to offset fixed costs.
- Performance Adjustment: Calculates the average of math and reading test scores to determine a performance multiplier. Schools scoring below 70% receive a 20% funding increase, while schools between 70-85% receive a 10% increase.
- Special Programs Calculation: Identifies all special programs offered by the school and allocates additional funding based on:
- Special education: $3,000 per enrolled student
- ESL programs: $2,500 per enrolled student
- Gifted programs: $1,800 per enrolled student
- STEM initiatives: $20,000 flat allocation
- Arts programs: $15,000 flat allocation
All components work together to create a total funding package that addresses each school's unique profile and needs.
