Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report suggests a framework for approaching and integrating adequacy as a cornerstone principle in developing a sound state school finance system. The text defines student performance-centered expectations for the education system and suggests that districts determine the educational capacity needed to allow each student reasonable opportunity to accomplish the agreed-upon expectations. The report is intended to encourage and assist state policymakers who must craft statewide school finance systems that meet constitutional requirements, systems that are rational and effective and that build public support for public school investments. The recommendations include five steps as a building block to accomplish an adequate school finance system, such as establishing clear and measurable goals. The report acknowledges the need for policymakers in each state to work within a context shaped by historical, cultural, political, and financial considerations. The booklet presents recommendations for project partners, the emergence of adequacy as a criterion for establishing and evaluating a state school finance system, an adequate school finance system, and a checklist for policymakers. The conclusion summarizes the rational approach to school funding. (Contains 104 references.) (RJM)

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?
