Northshore School District Uses a “Needs Based Resource Allocation” Model for Its Budgeting Work Budget and Financial Plan 2020-2021 Fiscal Year Serving the communities of Bothell, Kenmore and Woodinville Equality Equity The Northshore School District uses a “Needs Based Resource Allocation” model for its budgeting work. Ideally this approach aspires to assure that the needs of children in the District are provided for by the District in an equitable way, based on need. The illustration above captures the spirit of this approach. In order to create the most benefit for the most children, their current circumstances should be taken into account. Then, based on need, resources are allocated to respond to those circumstances in a way that enables as much progress for as many children as possible. This approach is founded in our Strategic Plan. www.nsd.org/budget Northshore School District 2020-2021 Financial Plan Table of Contents District Leadership and Finance Advisory Committee .................................................................................. 5 Message from the Superintendent ............................................................................................................... 6 Budget Highlights .......................................................................................................................................... 9 Northshore School District -

  • I Dual-Credit Access, Participation And
    Dual-Credit Access, Participation and Outcomes in Washington State Ashley Birkeland A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Margaret L. Plecki, Chair Elizabeth A. Sanders Ana M. Elfers Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education i ©Copyright 2019 Ashley Birkeland ii University of Washington ABSTRACT Dual-Credit Access, Participation and Outcomes in Washington State Ashley Birkeland Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Margaret L. Plecki College of Education Dual-credit has become a prominent topic in education as states look for additional opportunities to prepare students to succeed in college. Research has shown that students who earn college credit in high school are more likely to enroll in college. In Washington, there is currently a policy in place to increase enrollment in dual-credit courses. In addition, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) has given states more flexibility in how they are held accountable and Washington is one of the states that adopted dual-credit participation as an accountability measure. This study is informed by the results of a previous pilot study and includes all six dual- credit programs offered in Washington state. The six programs are AP, Cambridge, College in the High School, IB, Running Start and Tech Prep. Both descriptive and predictive approaches are taken to answer the questions 1) who has access and participates in different dual-credit programs, and 2) does dual-credit participation predict high school graduation and college enrollment after controlling for demographics and GPA? The results of this study provide a more nuanced picture of dual-credit access in Washington when only basic statistics at the state level have been produced thus far.
