Assume you are the new principal of Alpha High School, a 45-year-old building.

Your school serves the “blue collar” side of town. Omega High School, the other high school in the district and only four years old, serves the “white collar” side of town. Both schools are held to the same high accountability standards. Based on the data in Table 7.6, address the issues of equity, adequacy, and efficiency between the two high schools.
