Why we need equity in pupil funding and how to get it The Equity Pupil Unit Why we need equity in pupil funding and how to get it

Is this a problem?

If so, then this is a problem

The Solution: The Equity Pupil Unit Increase education funding faster to the lowest funded students to close the gap between the floor and the ceiling As we raise the WPU, we will also raise the state‘s match to the Voted and Board Levies, putting our previous efforts ($150 million per year) on a course of steady growth Rewards only those districts that are investing in their own programs through significant tax effort

What this legislation does Protects locally raised property tax revenue and the ability of local districts to enhance their own programs with increased local effort Gradually closes the gap between high- and low-assessed value districts so that a similar effort in Weber will generate the same per student as that effort in Ogden; Granite can generate revenue equal to Salt Lake; Murray and Canyons can generate as much as Wasatch. Adjusts naturally as demographic and geographic advantages change Provides a long-term and permanent fix to a problem that has vexed the legislature for decades

The Promise of the Equity Pupil Unit We have a moral and constitutional obligation to every child The value of a child’s education doesn’t change when a child moves The disparity in per student funding is resulting in wasteful education spending Closing the funding gap between the highest and lowest funded districts will mean more buying power in the market for teachers, which will drive teacher salaries higher Within a generation, we can achieve equitable funding for (nearly) every child
