SEDL's Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) works to provide new knowledge to policymakers that will support the transformation of low-performing schools and districts into high-performing learning communities. To this end, SEDL conducted a research study beginning in January 2001 that investigated the relationship between resource allocation and student performance. This study, funded as part of SEDL's REL contract with the U.S. Department of Education, helps fill a gap in the current research base and contributes to reform efforts in the field of education.
