Abstract: Equitable resource allocation within K-12 public schools across the United States is critical. It can ensure that socioeconomic circumstances do not hinder students’ abilities to attain their fullest potential. This paper provides introductory information to contextualize this topic and then explores a variety of related obstacles to equity. These barriers include challenges in the domains of teacher and administrator quality, rural education, and access to college preparation programming. A number of possible recommendations are then proposed in the form of revitalized finance models, universal education savings accounts, charter schools, educator-related resources, and sports equipment donations. Overall, this paper’s comprehensive analysis can help promote equity and enhance students’ lives.
