Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States annually spends over $300 billion on public elementary and secondary education. As the nation enters the 21st century, it faces a major challenge: how best to tie this financial investment to the goal of high levels of achievement for all students. In addition, policymakers want assurance that education dollars are being raised and used in the most efficient and effective possible ways. The book covers such topics as: Legal and legislative efforts to reduce spending and achievement gaps. The shift from "equity" to "adequacy" as a new standard for determining fairness in education spending. The debate and the evidence over the productivity of American schools. Strategies for using school finance in support of broader reforms aimed at raising student achievement. 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. It distills the best available knowledge about the fairness and productivity of expenditures on education and assesses options for changing the finance system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fiscal year 2008, the Department of Education oversaw the distribution of approximately $96 billion in federal student financial aid, including $14.6 billion in Pell Grants to low- and middle-income students, to help students and their families pay for higher-education expenses. Much of this aid was distributed based on a formula specified in the Higher Education Act, as amended, that is used to identify students who need financial assistance to pay for higher education. To apply for federal financial aid, such as Pell Grants, students submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid on which they report their own or both their own and their families' income and assets. Students who are financially dependent on their parents or other family members are required to report their own and their family's income and assets, while those who are financially independent report only their own income and assets (and their spouse's, if they are married). To determine if a student has financial need, the aid formula compares how much it costs a student to attend a particular college and an estimate of how much the student or student and family can afford to pay toward the cost--called the expected family contribution (EFC). How much a family can afford to contribute to college costs depends on a variety of factors, including the cost of living where a family resides. Some observers have questioned whether the federal aid formula appropriately accounts for geographic cost-of-living differences. As required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act, we are providing information on options for adjusting the federal student aid formula for geographic cost-of-living differences. Specifically, this report addresses the following questions: (1) How does the current federal financial aid formula affect students in different geographic areas? (2) What options exist for modifying this formula to reflect geographic cost-of-living differences? (3) How would adding a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the formula affect the federal financial aid system, including the distribution of Pell Grants? The study found that the federal aid formula accounts for a small degree of geographic cost-of-living differences, but it is unclear how geographic cost-of-living differences not accounted for in the formula affect a family's ability to pay for college. While no official measure of overall geographic cost-of-living differences exists, we have identified 3 possible COLA options that could be used in the aid formula. These COLAs have varying geographic scopes, impacts, strengths, and limitations. The COLAs we identified could increase Pell Grants and other aid to a small percentage of students from high-cost areas, but could also further complicate the calculation and administration of aid. Appended are: (1) Briefing Slides; (2) Scope and Methodology; (3) Counties Where Students Could See a Change in Financial Aid under Different COLA Options; (4) Summary of Effects of Adding a COLA to the Federal Needs Analysis Formula on Expected Family Contribution Levels and Pell Grant Awards; (5) Change in Pell Grant for Example Students in High-Cost and Low-Cost Areas for Each COLA; and (6) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments.
