Why Inequities in the State of Washington's School Finance System Exist

Book Description
For decades, school districts within the State of Washington have become more and more reliant on school levies to fund schools' everyday operations. By the early 2000s, it was clear that the state's public school financing system was failing to meet its constitutional mandate to fully fund basic education. The Washington State Supreme Court ruled in McCleary, et ux., et al. v. State of Washington (2012) that the state had violated its constitutional duty. However, the state legislature dragged its feet for several years on the so-called "McCleary fix." Prior to the passage of additional funding earmarked for education in 2018, the legislature's multi-year inaction prompted the desire to research the inequities that exist in school levy funding across all 295 public school districts within the State of Washington. The research question guiding this study was, "Does the socioeconomic status, racial diversity, and Republican partisanship of local communities predict the local revenue share of financing K-12 public schools within the State of Washington?" This study used secondary data from the United States Census Bureau, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction - School Apportionment and Financial Services, and all 39 county election offices within the State of Washington. The study's longitudinal and critical theory approaches to quantitatively analyze school levy funding for public school districts across the State of Washington at three distinct points in time, specifically the years 2008, 2012, and 2016, captured fluctuations in the composition of local communities that proved useful in explaining why such disparities in school funding persist. The results of the study support the general principle of placing the sole burden of funding public education on the state because the results reveal that the school levy system perpetuates socioeconomic inequity, which is a driving factor in keeping the marginalized oppressed and maintaining the privileged position and power of the wealthy.

Book Description
Financing Public Schools moves beyond the basics of financing public elementary and secondary education to explore the historical, philosophical, and legal underpinnings of a viable public school system. Coverage includes the operational aspects of school finance, including issues regarding teacher salaries and pensions, budgeting for instructional programs, school transportation, and risk management. Diving deeper than other school finance books, the authors explore the political framework within which schools must function, discuss the privatization of education and its effects on public schools, offer perspectives regarding education as an investment in human capital, and expertly explain complex financial and economic issues. This comprehensive text provides the tools to apply the many and varied fiscal concepts and practices that are essential for aspiring public school administrators who aim to provide responsible stewardship for their students. Special Features: "Definitional Boxes" and "Key Terms" throughout chapters enhance understanding of difficult concepts. Coverage of legal, political, and historical issues provides a broader context and more complex understanding of school finance. Offers in-depth exploration of business management of financial resources, including fiscal accounting, school facilities, school transportation, financing with debt, and the nuances of school budgeting techniques.
