The Digital Learning Collaborative releases A Review of Online Student Funding

Report explores evidence for funding amounts and mechanisms for online students

DURANGO, Colo. (PRWEB) June 30, 2022

The Digital Learning Collaborative today released "The Land of Confusion: a Review of Online Student Funding."

This study reviews available evidence regarding funding levels and mechanisms for online students. It presents funding levels and mechanisms in a subset of states, and then explores several different concepts related to online student funding.

Every state has a highly complex formula with an impressive amount of different variables. This study intends to demonstrate broad-scale differences while presenting numbers that best represent the general trends and directions of state funding amounts.

Key Takeaways

• Online schools have expenses that are different than, and in addition to, expenses of physical schools
• Counting students for funding purposes is difficult in many states
• Understanding online student funding levels is more important than ever
• Lower funding for online students limits learning options
• Student accounting processes need to be reconsidered
• Online school funding should be far more transparent
