The challenge of proper school finance goes beyond having a balanced budget to finding strategies that maximize money to improve schools and equalize student achievement. School finance deals with how money works to support school operations and answer rigorous accountability such as the No Child Left Behind mandate. This book paints a comprehensive picture of school finance to illuminate issues with the current system and suggest ways to improve that system.
Whether you have a casual interest in the politics of education funding or are an expert in school finance seeking a comprehensive and highly readable, up-to-date analysis, this text is for you. By combining a thorough, entertaining, and rich history of our nation's various approaches to paying for public education with a detailed explication of current school funding structures, Wong and Casing provide readers with the knowledge and context needed to understand both the technical aspects of education funding and the way funding for schools impacts everything from economic opportunity to racial and social justice. Brilliant!
