Feature Summary| ADEQUACY AND EQUITY: The text emphasizes school finance adequacy and equity in a policy context. EXPERIENCED AUTHORS: The authors are two former presidents of the American Education Finance Association who have advised policymakers on school finance issues in nearly 2/3 of the U.S. states. CLEAR AND UNDERSTANDABLE: The complex relationship of school finance policy and education reform is described in clear, understandable terms. DISTRICT AND STATE SIMULATIONS: A major portion of the text is the accompanying Microsoft Excel (PC and Mac) simulation that allows students to manipulate school finance data, both in a 20-district sample and in individual state databases. This allows them to understand the effects of school finance models on school district revenue and behavior more completely. |
