Beginning in the 1990s, the field of school finance began to reflect the wider world of
education policy by undergoing a conceptual shift from an equity perspective focused on
the equalization of educational inputs toward an adequacy perspective focused on the
performance of the educational system overall, measured by student performance on
systematically aligned assessments (Houck and Debray, 2015)
A shift is occurring in school finance from equity to adequacy, and from emphasis on
inputs to emphasis on high minimum outcomes as the goal of both educational policy and
finance. A true adequacy
model is emerging, a system of school finance that links
resources to outcomes to ensure all students receive an adequate level of education.
Implementing true adequacy would require each district to adopt a set of high minimum
goals, identify resources necessary for attaining those goals, and have a long-range
investment plan for deploying the resources and developing the corresponding
instructional program (Cune, 1994)
