Bruce D. Baker © 2010 How Should Demographics Affect Financing? What would be fair? (doesn’t account for LEP/ELL differences) Ballpark, Hypothetical, Illustrative Example! In short, most charters serve such select populations that the “cost” difference closes not only the 10% gap between charter and NPS equalized foundation funding, but also the “adjustment aid” gap. However, charters still face additional “facilities” costs. That gap is more than erased by philanthropy, but access to philanthropy varies widely across these schools.
