This book was released on 2015 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clark County School District (CCSD) asked the Western Regional Education Laboratory (REL West) to examine the relationship between spending per pupil and Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF) index scores in the district's schools. Data were examined from three school years (2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14) and for three types of schools (elementary, middle, and high schools). One set of analyses examined whether more spending per pupil was linked to higher NSPF index scores, without first accounting for how school characteristics are linked to NSPF index scores. In this case, when not adjusting for the additional costs of educating students in special programs, more spending per pupil in elementary schools was significantly linked with lower NSPF index scores. In addition, when adjusting for the additional costs of educating students in special programs, more spending per pupil in elementary schools in 2014 was significantly linked with higher NSPF index scores in the same year. Otherwise, there was no consistent relationship between spending per pupil and NSPF index scores across school years or types of schools. A second set of analyses examined whether a greater difference in actual versus predicted (based on school characteristics) spending per pupil was linked to higher NSPF index scores. There was no consistent relationship between the differences in actual versus predicted spending per pupil, and NSPF index scores, either across school years or types of schools. This was the case whether or not spending per pupil was adjusted for the additional costs of educating students in special programs. A third set of analyses examined whether more spending per pupil was linked to higher NSPF index scores, after accounting for how school characteristics are linked to index scores. Again, more spending per pupil was not significantly associated with NSPF index score across types of schools, whether or not spending per pupil was adjusted for the additional costs of educating students in special programs. This was the case whether index scores were examined year-by-year or whether the changes in index scores were examined over three consecutive years. All the findings are correlational; therefore, they cannot speak to whether variations in school performance are caused by variations in spending per pupil. The following are appended: (1) Details on the analytic methods; and (2) Additional analyses for question 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive answer to how to allocate school-level expenditures to yield the greatest "bang for the buck" has continually eluded education finance researchers. With increased regulation, oversight, and sanctions resulting from the No Child Left Behind Act, paired with financial strains on states' education budgets, measuring schools' production and efficiency has become urgent. The methodology for this study was comprised of two phases. Phase I analyzed the per-pupil expenditures of middle and high schools over a three-year period and developed descriptive statistics that revealed the expenditure patterns by category. Phase II used a micro-level economic approach, data envelopment analysis, to ascertain the relative efficiency of Nevada secondary schools over a three year period. Expenditure patterns of the most and least efficient schools were examined. The major findings of the study included that there was little difference overall in spending patterns between middle and high schools; high schools spent significantly more per pupil than middle schools. School size was significantly related to schools' efficiency, with larger middle schools and smaller high schools being more efficient. High efficiency schools at both the middle and high school levels spent more on substitutes, extracurricular activities, in-service and staff development, leadership, and principals & assistant principals and spent less on safety. Low efficiency schools spent less on substitutes, extracurricular activities, leadership, principals & assistant principals, and school office. Informing educational leaders of how schools spend money and the efficiency of those decisions relative to student achievement outcomes may assist schools and districts in making future efficient and effective allocation decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How schools budget and spend the money they receiveAnalyzes links (or their absence) to educational goalsA candid guide to how resources are used in schools Based on extensive research and hands-on school budgeting, this volume is a systematic exposition of how money is collected and spent in the thousands of public school districts in the US, as well as parochial, private and charter schools. The volume explains both the paper trail of how money is allocated in budgets and justified in outlays, as well as the decision-making steps authorizing the collection and spending of funds. A thesis of the book is that money for schools should in all instances contribute to the promotion of educational goals. The book shows that the determination of, as well as the realization, of such goals is subject to complexities that result in questionable uses of limited resources--a result that has wide implications.
