Book excerpt: This study was designed to compare the equity gap between the current system of school finance in Texas Public Schools and the gap established by the school finance reform of 2006, specifically between the least wealthy and wealthiest districts in the state in the area of state and local revenue per pupil, with a specific focus on the impact of the four "Golden Pennies" of local enrichment allowed by House Bill 1, which are not subject to recapture. Per pupil revenue data from all K-12 districts in the state of Texas, excluding charter and military reservation schools, were used in this comparison, with the Chapter 42, or "Property Poor" districts being compared to the Chapter 41, or "Property Rich" districts, to achieve an average funding gap between the wealthiest and poorest schools in the state in the area of per pupil revenue. The data will be used to establish whether the school funding legislation outlined in House Bill 1 will close or broaden the equity gap between the "Property Poor" and the "Property Rich" school districts in Texas. These findings may allow both educators and legislators to determine the effectiveness of the projected school finance system in increasing equity in our public schools.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains recommendations for changes in the Texas system of educational finance to improve educational opportunity for Mexican Americans and African Americans. The report examines alternative methods of finance, focusing on methods for improving the existing property tax system. The authors recommend that the State (1) supervise and control assessment of property; (2) assume the revenue-raising function for public elementary and secondary education; (3) enact personal income and corporate profits taxes; (4) raise its level of per pupil expenditure; and (5) grant aid on the basis of a child's need.
Download or read book The Search for Equity in School Finance written by Stephen J. Carroll and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes outcomes of school finance reform in California, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, and New Mexico. Spending for education rose impressively in these states, but reform did little to equalize the distributions of revenues or instructional expenditures. Local property taxes for education declined in all the states but Michigan and became significantly more equal among school districts. Reform weakened the link between districts' revenues and their communities' property tax bases and, in most cases, their income levels. Reform generally had little effect on the distribution of revenues among district types. Reform did little to equalize districts' spending outcomes and opportunities probably because of the simultaneous pursuit of diverse and often conflicting objectives, and the add-ons and adjustments that states made to their basic finance plans, usually with disequalizing effects.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether school funding mechanisms in current law of House Bill 3646 will close, increase, or maintain the equity gap between Chapter 42, or "Property Poor" districts and Chapter 41, or "Property Rich" school districts in Texas. The 2006 School Finance mechanism entailed in House Bill 1 was compared with that of House Bill 3646, the 2009 current school finance system, in a per pupil revenue basis to compare the equity gap in the two reform bills. House Bill 3646 contains the same foundational principles of finance as the prior bill, but an adjustment was made to increase the WADA funding. The study replicates the statistical measures of Lovett (2007), which examined the finance data of all K-12 districts in the State of Texas, excluding Charter and Military Installation schools. The data was used to determine whether the funding mechanism of House Bill 1 closed, maintained, or widened the equity gap between "Property Poor" and "Property Rich" school districts in Texas. The study found that while the equity closed between the Chapter 41 and Chapter 42 Districts between 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 it was not of significance. This study did find a significant difference between the Chapter 41 and Chapter 42 schools in each year studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States annually spends over $300 billion on public elementary and secondary education.

This book contains a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of financing public schools by federal, state, and local governments in the United States.

This book was released on 1999-02-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending on K-12 education across the United States and across local school districts has long been characterized by great disparitiesâ€"disparities that reflect differences in property wealth and tax rates. For more than a quarter-century, reformers have attempted to reduce these differences through court challenges and legislative action. As part of a broad study of education finance, the committee commissioned eight papers examining the history and consequences of school finance reform undertaken in the name of equity and adequacy. This thought-provoking, timely collection of papers explores such topics as: What do the terms "equity" and "adequacy" in school finance really mean? How are these terms relevant to the politics and litigation of school finance reform? What is the impact of court-ordered school finance reform on spending disparities? How do school districts use money from finance reform? What policy options are available to states facing new challenges from court decisions mandating adequacy in school finance? When measuring adequacy, how do you consider differences in student needs and regional costs?
