Components

  • Alliance for Resource Equity toolkit with ten dimensions of equity: The Alliance for Resource Equity (ARE), a partnership between Ed Trust and Education Resource Strategies, offers a toolkit that "categorizes the student experience into 10 'dimensions of equity.'"

  • Review both fiscal and non-fiscal resources, drilling down by account codes to find spending gaps: The document recommends that determining the type of resources to include, "including fiscal and non-fiscal, is at the heart of the RAR." Fiscal review should examine expenditures via per-pupil expenditure reports and revenue allocations, with drill-down by program, object, and function account codes. Beyond funding, reviews should cover human resources, time, materials, programs, and partnerships. (Taylor et al. (2024))
