Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Much has been written about how public schools in the United States are funded. However, missing in the current literature landscape is a nuanced discussion of funding as it relates to public charter schools. This text, authored by researchers and professionals working in the charter school world, provides readers with a comprehensive overview of issues related to the funding and operation of charter schools. The book opens with an introduction to charter schools and how they are funded. The financial management and oversight of charter schools and issues related to funding equity, including how charter schools impact district school finances, are addressed. Special considerations for charter schools related to serving special education students and transportation issues are also addressed. After reading this book, readers will have a thorough understanding of how charter schools are funded and managed financially.
Funding Special Education

Book Description
Considerable challenges face the school finance community relating to the implementation of such concepts as equity, adequacy, accountability, and efficiency within a policy environment. Although each of these concepts focuses on a specific aspect of public education, in practice they are often linked. Although more work is needed to clarify these standards, it is already evident, as is pointed out in this volume, that the kinds of dual service systems that have been created for general and special education students can be better integrated in order to improve outcomes related to all four of these important concepts. Special education has become a vital component of the nation's overall education system. It is essential that future work to address fiscal policy challenges include the special needs of children with disabilities along with those of all children. The purpose of this book is to contribute to a fuller incorporation of special education fiscal policy concerns into the mainstream of the education finance literature and fiscal policy. This is the 19th yearbook of the American Finance Association.

Book Description
Nearly 6.5 million students in the United States ages 3 through 21 are currently classified as requiring special education. Those students have physical, developmental, and emotional disabilities that make educational endeavors more challenging for teachers, administrators, and the students themselves. Yet historically, the needs of special education students were met sporadically if at all. Parents were frequently left to fend for themselves and their children within the education system. In the 1960s, the federal government made a historic entrě into the field as part of the Great Society initiatives, launching a legislative effort that would ultimately become the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Special education students' rights were won through political and courtroom battles that resulted in the establishment of laws and principles protecting all students with disabilities. Today, the law governs states' obligations to students with special needs and defines the federal role in providing services to those children. All students with disabilities are guaranteed the right to a "free appropriate public education" in the "least restrictive environment" possible. Ninety-five percent of all children ages 6 through 21 served under Part B of IDEA spend at least some portion of the school day in regular classrooms, and nearly 60 percent of those students are in mainstream classes for at least 80 percent of the day. By many measures, the law has been a success. There is, however, another looming component to federal special education law that cannot be ignored: finance. This report presents a detailed analysis of federal special education finance data for more than 9,000 school districts across the United States. It suggests that the stated priorities of the federal grants to states--population- and poverty-based funding--are often abandoned in light of certain other provisions of the formula. Meanwhile, federal formulas grow further from states' realities every year. Lawmakers continue to spend $11.5 billion annually on special education in accordance with the outdated formula (and states and school districts spend much more). With the passage of time, a relatively minor problem has become a large one. As Congress begins to consider reauthorization of the law, it is in an entirely different context. A persistent recession, public concern about the national debt, and a growing focus on accountability for federal funds will demand that lawmakers prioritize efficiency of spending above all else. To fulfill their historic promise to student with disabilities and their families, lawmakers must modernize the critical funding mechanisms that help educate students whose needs have never been greater.
