District Partner 2012-present

ERS is partnering with the Georgia Department of Education on our first state-level analysis. The pioneering project, funded by Georgia’s Race to the Top grant, includes resource mapping in five districts as well as state-level work, which analyzes state spending overall, the impact of federal and state education policies, and the role of the state in education.

Work Focus

• Financial Analysis: Improve district spending in terms of equity, efficiency, and efficacy through budget, weighted student need, and special populations analysis
