Over a two-year time period beginning in Fall 2015, Picus Odden & Associates completed an Evidence-Based Approach to Estimating a Base Spending Level and Pupil Weights for Maryland under subcontract with Augenblick Palaich and Associates. The study includes 12 case studies of improving and high performance schools.
The case studies are included at the end of the report and also can be found individually in the Resources tab of this website. Chadwick Elementary is a fascinating case of a high poverty, high ELL school performing at very high levels.
