Equality refers to the root word of everything being equal and that holds true for our classrooms. You want all of the children being given an equal share of their education. Senate Bill 7 tries to support equality by giving money to districts that they would not normally generate themselves so that they may in turn provide a more equal education. Another example is the funds that are designated for certain areas of the educational process.
Equity refers to the needs of the individual student and what these needs may be. This allows for funding to be greater or lesser depending on what needs each individual student has. Two examples of equity are students on career and technology paths generate more money for a school district and students who require special education will do the same.
Adequacy is the term that refers to what level your children are achieving and is it good enough. An adequate education is what every district strives for and should be striving for a more than adequate education. Meeting the needs of your students and making sure they pass the standardized testing gives the school district a good picture of their provision of an adequate education.
