Chapter 4, "Equity II," considers the technical and conceptual challenges of educational adequacy. Chapter 5, "Improving the Productivity of Schools," explores productivity definitions and measurements. Chapter 6, "Achieving Goal 1: Promoting Higher Achievement in a Cost-Efficient Way," describes the use of incentives that empower schools and encourage cost-efficient improvements in achievement; reviews site-based management, charter schools, contracting with private firms; and concludes with an assessment of the empirical evidence supporting choice. Chapter 7, "Achieving Goal 2: Breaking the Nexus," explains the connection between funding inequities and poor achievement, stressing the role of technology, school-community linkages, and potential of vouchers. Chapter 8, "Achieving Goal 3: Raising Revenue Fairly and Efficiently," assesses the fairness of property taxes, and evaluates suggested alternatives. Chapter 9, "Conclusion," stresses the importance of balancing values to achieve educational finance equity, adequacy, and fairness. (Contains 38 pages of endnotes.) (TEJ)

Download or read book School Funding and Student Achievement written by Andy Spears and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief explores school funding reform in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. In 1990, Kentucky passed the Kentucky Education Reform Act designed to overhaul that state’s education system. Two years later, Tennessee passed the Education Improvement Act which included the Basic Education Plan, designed to foster equity in funding among the state’s schools. Initiated as a result of lawsuits against the states’ educational systems, both programs dealt with school funding, specifically funding equalization among districts. This Brief examines the environments that precipitated funding reform in each state as well as the outcomes of the reforms on student achievement. The similarities and differences between the approaches in each state are analyzed and compared to related reform programs in other states. An in-depth study of regional educational reform in the United States, this Brief is of use to public policy scholars as well as education policy consultants and other school system or state education leaders.

This book was released on 2006-06-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about public education reform and the future of pubHc education funding. Given the many articles, books, and conferences that have focused on the issue of public education reform, it is reasonable to ask whether the world needs still another volume on this subject. In my defense, I would argue that, although there is a large literature on public education reform, there is precious little that tries to sketch the big picture. Too often, both in research and in practice, it is easy to lose sight of the forest, for all the focus on the individual trees. While such detailed analysis is of critical value, that value derives both from its specificity and from its ability to fit into a larger, coherent whole. Unfortunately, our understanding of the public education process is still incomplete and disconnected, particularly with regard to the connections between research, policy, and practice. This book is an attempt to step back for a moment to get one's bearings before jumping headlong back into the forest. It is my hope that this book will be of value to a wide variety of reader- researchers in departments of economics and schools of education, policy makers at all levels, and, of course, the practitioners slogging away in the trenches.
