Book Description
The United States annually spends over $300 billion on public elementary and secondary education. As the nation enters the 21st century, it faces a major challenge: how best to tie this financial investment to the goal of high levels of achievement for all students. In addition, policymakers want assurance that education dollars are being raised and used in the most efficient and effective possible ways. The book covers such topics as: Legal and legislative efforts to reduce spending and achievement gaps. The shift from "equity" to "adequacy" as a new standard for determining fairness in education spending. The debate and the evidence over the productivity of American schools. Strategies for using school finance in support of broader reforms aimed at raising student achievement. This book contains a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of financing public schools by federal, state, and local governments in the United States. It distills the best available knowledge about the fairness and productivity of expenditures on education and assesses options for changing the finance system.

Book Description
School finance in the United States is changing. State judicial decisions and legislative policies, formerly anchored in concepts of equity, are now being reoriented toward a newer, more demanding concept: adequacy. While equity policies focus on reducing disparities in funding that result from school district property wealth or tax effort, adequacy shifts the focus to student performance. It transforms education financing into an instrument for promoting student achievement.This follow-up to Making Money Matter takes stock of the change from equity to adequacy and the substantial consequences for education policy and practice. It outlines strategic options and policy levers for the policy community to consider and lays out the questions that policy makers need to ask about adequacy in school finance. Investing in Adequacy is designed to engage policy makers at the federal, state, and local levels in strategic discussions of the ways and means of addressing the new demands and challenges in school finance.
