This book was released on 1999-03-12 with total page 329 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?

Book excerpt: Education finance researchers tend to organize their thoughts on important issues by considering one of the four foundational perspectives: equity, efficiency, liberty, and adequacy. The six essays presented in this special edition of the Peabody Journal of Education base their work within the context of the four pillars and present new directions for future research. While some of the articles isolate a concept for closer scrutiny, others draw attention to more interactive aspects of the pillars in question. Each article leaves the reader with important information and insightful questions about both the usuage and efficacy of education finance policies.

Download or read book Investing in Adequacy written by Jacob E. Adams and published by National Academy Press. This book was released on 2000-08 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School finance in the United States is changing. State judicial decisions and legislative policies, formerly anchored in concepts of equity, are now being reoriented toward a newer, more demanding concept: adequacy. While equity policies focus on reducing disparities in funding that result from school district property wealth or tax effort, adequacy shifts the focus to student performance. It transforms education financing into an instrument for promoting student achievement.This follow-up to Making Money Matter takes stock of the change from equity to adequacy and the substantial consequences for education policy and practice. It outlines strategic options and policy levers for the policy community to consider and lays out the questions that policy makers need to ask about adequacy in school finance. Investing in Adequacy is designed to engage policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels in strategic discussions of the ways and means of addressing the new demands and challenges in school finance.
