Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Al Ramirez writes on the subject of how the public schools in the United States are financed and how other funds are raised for educational programs in elementary and secondary schools. A context for public school finance is provided throughout the volume by grounding each topic in historical, policy, political, and common practice, so the work spans both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject matter. The text is written primarily for graduate students in programs for education leadership, administration, policy studies, public administration, public finance and public accounting. The content will also serve as a resource for practitioners and education policy leaders, e.g., school board members, foundation program officers, legislators, and policy analysts at the local, state and national levels. Each chapter is structured so as to enhance the book's value to pre-service students preparing for entry-level school administration positions as well as candidates for advanced degrees who need more research based theoretical content on school finance. The author recognizes that each state has its own unique funding approach and guides readers to state resources that supplement the books content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over ten years, the State of Arizona has implemented an innovative statewide process for financing and building school facilities and purchasing other capital items for its schools. Spawned by an education quality lawsuit, the 1998 Students FIRST Act established the School Facilities Board, which succeeded in helping rural, suburban, and urban communities build and improve their school buildings. This was no small task because Arizona has been one of the fastest growing states in the nation during these years. In a state whose population increased from 5.1 to 6.5 million people from 2000 to 2008, the growing number of school-aged children fueled construction at the average rate of 35 new schools every year. This article briefly recounts the education quality litigation and remedy that led to a novel standards-based school facilities boon in Arizona. It documents the subsequent years of implementation, including standards setting, financing, assessment, deficiency corrections, and related initiatives. Weaknesses that have emerged in the remedy--primarily underfunding--are also summarized. Finally, this article considers the success of the Arizona education quality litigation and its remedy by applying the "successful-remedies model" postulated by Michael A. Rebell in his book, "Courts and Kids: Pursuing Educational Equity Through the State Courts." Using this framework facilitates analysis of the Arizona experience as to the role of the courts and examination of the impact of the state's changes to facilities financing and decision making on standards, funding, accountability, public involvement, and student performance. (Contains 1 figure, 4 tables and 92 footnotes.).
