According to a recent EdBuild study, majority-nonwhite districts nationwide receive 23 billion dollars less in funding every year than majority-white districts, despite serving the same number of students.

This gap impacts students' education and perpetuates racial and economic inequities in the country. How can technology create a more equitable education for all students? Can the metaverse help break down barriers when it comes to learning opportunities? In what ways will the metaverse define the future of education?     In this episode, Kevin discusses the educational opportunities of the metaverse with Vice President of Education at Roblox, Rebecca Kantar.

“We have built a school funding system that is reliant on geography, and therefore the school funding system has inherited all of the historical ills of where we have forced and incentivized people to live" -- Rebecca Sibilia Because school funding largely comes from local property taxes, housing plays a pivotal role in how much schools can spend on students’ education. In this episode, the CEO of EdBuild, Rebecca Sibilia, discusses the interplay between housing and school funding inequities. EdBuild is a nonprofit organization focused on bringing common sense and fairness to the way we fund public schools. In a recent report, EdBuild found that nonwhite school districts get $23 billion less than white districts, despite serving the same number of students. These education disparities are largely rooted in housing disparities. Intro/Closing Song: Free Music Library, YouTube, “Clover 3” URL: www.youtube.com/audiolibrary

Zahava Stadler is the Manager of Policy and Research at EdBuild, a national non-profit focused on bringing common sense solutions to school funding. Zahava and Beth discuss how we accept real property tax funding at the local level for schools as part of the natural order, and, in doing so, contribute to an unequal school system that fails many of our children.
