This podcast, from the Association of School Business Officials (ASBO International), explores how school funding systems shape educational opportunities and outcomes for students across the United States. 

Featuring a conversation with a leading expert in education finance, Dr. Bruce Baker, the discussion examines national trends in funding and the persistent inequities affecting districts and student populations. 

The episode highlights why both the level of funding and how resources are distributed are critical to achieving equitable outcomes in education. It also provides a data-informed look at how states measure adequacy, equity, and overall effort in supporting public schools.
