| Abstract: | This article focuses on the State of the States (SOS) education finance reports for fiscal year (FY) 2025, which examine how U.S. states are addressing adequacy and equity in education funding amid post-pandemic fiscal challenges. Key themes include formula redesign efforts to improve equity, persistent pressures from special education finance, and the ongoing influence of property tax policies on local funding capacity. The reports also highlight the growing integration of school choice, workforce issues, and student support services into education finance considerations. Collectively, the findings illustrate a complex landscape where states balance evolving educational demands with constrained fiscal resources. [Extracted from the article] |
