What is the maintenance of equity?

The maintenance of equity provisions outlined in the ARP Act ensures that schools and LEAs serving large proportions of historically underserved students receive an equitable share of state and local funds as the nation continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact.

Specifically, MOEquity ensures the following:

• An SEA does not disproportionately reduce per-pupil State funding to high-need LEAs.
• An SEA does not reduce per-pupil State funding to the highest-poverty LEAs below their FY 2019 level.
• An LEA does not disproportionately reduce State and local per-pupil funding in high-poverty schools.
• An LEA does not disproportionately reduce the number of full-time-equivalent (FTE) staff per-pupil in high-poverty schools.
