Abstract
One important way to assess the equity of our education system is understanding how funding -- which is critical to the success of education institutions and its students -- changes in reaction to resource availability. This study examined the impact on higher education state appropriations and K-12 per pupil spending when citizens enter or leave a state. Linear regression was used to explore the existence of a relationship between migration and K-20 funding; higher education had a significant relationship with migration both in and out of states, while K-12 education funding did not. This study illustrated the differences in funding sources between states, outlining disparities in educational experiences by students who reside in different states. This study's significance comes from a more recent dataset, analysis of migration as a predictor, as well as its examination of K-12 state support with higher education.
