3. Require states to include information on
resource indicators to accompany their
reports of academic progress for each school,
reflecting the availability of well-qualified
teachers; strong curriculum opportunities,
such as college preparatory coursework; books,
materials, and equipment (such as science labs
and computers); and adequate facilities.
4. Evaluate progress on resource indicators in
state plans and evaluations under the law,
and require states to meet federal standards of
resource equity—including the availability of
well-qualified teachers—for schools identified
as failing. As a condition for receiving
federal funds, each state should include in
its application for federal funds a report
describing the state’s demonstrated movement
toward adequate and equitable access to
education resources, and a plan for further
progress.
