Spending on education across the United States and across local school districts has long been characterized by great disparities - disparities that reflect differences in property wealth and tax rates. For the past 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 equity and adequacy in school finance really mean; how school districts use money from finance reform; the politics of school finance reform; how school finance reform is being pursued through litigation; the impact of court-ordered school finance reform on spending disparities; the policy options available to states facing new challenges from court decisions mandating adequacy in school finance; and how to consider differences in student needs and regional costs when measuring adequacy. education,education and reference,education theory,funding,reform and policy,schools and teaching,textbooks Schools & Teaching, National Academies Press<

Spending on K-12 education across the United States and across local school districts has long been characterized by great disparities-disparities that reflect differences in property wealth and tax rates.

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 do school districts use money from finance reform?-- What are the politics of school finance reform?-- How is school finance reform being pursued through litigation?-- What is the impact of court-ordered school finance reform on spending disparities?-- 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?
