Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Education Resource Strategies (ERS) is a national nonprofit that partners with district, school, and state leaders to transform how they use resources (people, time, and money). They help create enabling conditions for transformation in state and local policy contexts and spread their work through lessons, tools, networks, and professional learning. ERS starts with an analysis of existing strategy and resource allocation in school systems mapped against best practices. They then help their partners reallocate resources to support high-leverage improvement strategies. (Substrategy: District Deep Dives and Networks)

for analysis and outreach on weighted-student state education funding formula models
Education Resource Strategies is a nonprofit dedicated to transforming how urban school systems organize resources like people, time, technology, and money. The organization will describe the concept of a weighted-student state education funding formula that includes additional funds for schools with high concentrations of at-risk students, flexibility for districts, and accountability for equity; the organization also will communicate the importance of this funding formula. Resource equity and flexibility help local school systems advance the practice and assessment innovations that promote deeper learning student outcomes at greater scale.
