Book excerpt: The full-scale assault on public education threatens not just public education but American democracy itself. Public education as we know it is in trouble. Derek W. Black, a legal scholar and tenacious advocate, shows how major democratic and constitutional developments are intimately linked to the expansion of public education throughout American history. Schoolhouse Burningis grounded in pathbreaking, original research into how the nation, in its infancy, built itself around public education and, following the Civil War, enshrined education as a constitutional right that forever changed the trajectory of our democracy. Public education, alongside the right to vote, was the cornerstone of the recovery of the war-torn nation. Today's current schooling trends -- the declining commitment to properly fund public education and the well-financed political agenda to expand vouchers and charter schools -- present a major assault on the democratic norms that public education represents and risk undermining one of the unique accomplishments of American society.

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?

Book excerpt: Few studies have previously been focused on what superintendents recommend for creating a fair and equitable school finance system in Texas. Superintendents were interviewed to illuminate the school finance issues faced by urban school districts. This study was undertaken to analyze perceptions of superintendents in regard to the factors, challenges, and experiences of navigating and managing the Texas school finance system to achieve their districts’ goals and priorities. The research questions were the following: (a) What factors do superintendents’ believe affect the Texas school finance system in terms of equity and adequacy? (b) How do superintendents characterize challenges within the Texas school finance system? (c) How do superintendents use their experiences to address equity and adequacy within the Texas school finance system? This study followed a qualitative, interpretivist design as part of presenting the multiple case studies. Three participants based on purposefully sampling from the population of superintendents of urban public school districts in Texas served along with artifacts from their districts as the multiple case studies. Data sources included interviews and pertinent artifacts. The findings of this study represented three key areas: (a) factors superintendents’ believe affect the school finance system in terms of equity and adequacy, (b) superintendents’ characterizations of the challenges within the Texas school finance system, and (c) utilization of superintendents’ experiences to address equity and adequacy within the Texas school finance system. The superintendent perspective could assist governing bodies understand students’ needs, requirements, and accountability priorities so that equitable and adequate funding could occur through updating the weighted average daily attendance system, revising the funding formulas to include socioeconomic student enrollment, and critical programs and/or needs for accountability
