Abstract
Since the landmark case of Brown v. The Board of Education (1954) there has been a continual stream of educational finance equity litigation. The focus of these court cases is the equitable allocation of resources from the state and from local sources (Larson 1990). “Equity” has conventionally been examined only by considering traditional sources of revenue (e.g., property tax, income tax, weighted pupil unit money). This study has expanded the scope of inquiry into the school equity issue by examining non-traditional sources (e.g., business partnerships, private foundations, donated services, and user fees). Analyzing non-traditional resources flowing into one urban and one rural district in Utah expose several equity questions.
