If the project successfully delivers its goals, it will provide Philadelphia parents with a clear understanding of how school funding varies across neighborhoods.
Users will be able to see which schools are under-resourced, compare funding levels between districts, and understand the historical and structural reasons behind these disparities.
By making this information transparent and interactive, the project is likely to increase public awareness, support informed decision-making, and empower the community to advocate for more equitable funding policies.
Additionally, the project may serve as a model for other researchers or organizations seeking to use digital mapping to highlight social justice issues in education.
