The purpose of Part 4 is to select a solution to the problem you defined in Part 2 that is grounded in literature and supported by evidence and analysis.  To accomplish this task, you will utilize a strategic thinking lens to consider the viability and applicability of the solutions you researched in Part 3 with respect to your selected problem and organizational context.  As part of this process, for each solution you researched in Part 3, you will also consider any potential barriers to success in the context of your organization. Thus, after analyzing and reflecting on the potential solutions through the lens of strategic thinking, you will evaluate the viability of the solutions you researched within the context of the information you collected and analyzed in Part 1. Part 4: Select a Solution

Poverty has been established as a major issue affecting students in elementary schools, with it being more pronounced in localities with generally high poverty levels. Structural and systematic inequities have been reported widely in such areas buffering the performance of the said learners. Factors stretching from the home situation to the school environment accumulate to deny the learner the opportunity to achieve. With this realization, a solution must be sought to address the dominant poverty issue that endangers the child’s education.

Addressing The Funding Gap in US Schools

The financing system in the US public schools is designed in such a way that it transfers the existing inequalities into schools. This gap has to be addressed for the success of elementary schools in poverty-stricken areas. American University (2020) has indicated that while some schools in the United States experience very good build-built schools, other areas grapple with resource lack while dealing with an increasing student population from poverty-stricken backgrounds. The American University (2020) adds that despite many years of policies that have failed to address the inequality in the funding of public schools, putting the right policies will shift the burden carried by low-poverty schools. In a conclusive report published by the Economic Policy Institute, Allegretto et al. (2022) have shown that the per-student allocation was highly affected by the 2008 great recession, shortchanging students, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. The federal government plays a very minimal role in funding the said schools. For these reasons, funding systems must be reviewed to improve schools’ educational resource allocation. In light of these findings, Allegretto et al. (2022) report that the public school system should be overhauled to allocate a larger federal government budget. The government could make substantial, well-targeted, and consistent investments in the child’s education to address the school income gap in low-income settings. The report further argues that overhauling funding will help establish a reliable funding plan for all learners that deposits funds to the schools proportional to the problems and specific challenges faced by different poor backgrounds schools.

The major question to be used is the funding modality to ensure that each child gets the proper and proportional funding to better their access to beneficial education. In a study on the use of the premium funding model in the UK aimed at reducing segregation in low-income schools, Gorard et al. (2022) found that the policy did not work in reaching out to disadvantaged learners, and hence such a
