This book was released on 2014 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the end of the 20th century, the constitutionality of school finance systems in Vermont and New Hampshire was challenged in courts for the first time. Both states initiated dramatic school finance reforms after their school finance systems were ruled as unconstitutional. This study aims to evaluate the effect of these school finance reforms on per pupil spending. By utilizing a quasi-experimental research design and using school districts in Maine and Rhode Island as comparison groups, this study found that the school finance reform in Vermont decreased per pupil spending in rich school districts by 4-10% and increased per pupil spending in poor school districts by 2-5%. The school finance reform in New Hampshire decreased per pupil spending in rich school districts by 5-7% and had no significant effect on per pupil spending in poor school districts. The results from this study suggest that restrictions on the use of state aid are needed and should be considered in the process of school finance policy design. This study also indicates that directly transferring property tax revenue from rich school districts to poor school districts is probably not a sustainable way to achieve equity in education spending because it stimulates strong opposition from school districts whose tax revenue is recaptured"--Page xii.

Book Synopsis Equity and Adequacy of Vermont School Finance Under Act 68: An Act Concerning Education by : Charles D. Britton

This book was released on 2007 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research was to investigate one particular state's efforts to reform a substantially unequal educational environment through legislative efforts designed to improve funding equity and adequacy across school districts. The state is Vermont, and the legislation is titled Act 68 An Act Relating to Education. Act 68 was passed by the Vermont State Legislature in February of 2004. Act 68 followed the controversial and politically charged legislation passed in 1997 titled Act 60 Equal Educational Opportunity Act. Now in the third year of implementation, data is starting to emerge which will begin to address the question as to whether this school funding vehicle is having the desired effect of creating an equitable and adequate system of public education in the state of Vermont. The purpose of this study was to examine Vermont's experience with statutory changes to the state school finance formula with the aims of informing the broader debate in states grappling with the issue of equity and adequacy promulgated or inhibited by various school finance legislation.
Book Synopsis Centralization of School Finance and Property Values : Lessons from Vermont by : Thomas Downes
Download or read book Centralization of School Finance and Property Values : Lessons from Vermont written by Thomas Downes and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1997 the elected leaders of Vermont enacted Act 60, potentially the most radical reform of a state’s system of public school financing since the changes in California in the late 1970s. Little is known about the capitalization effects of changes like those that occurred in Vermont—which combined redistribution of education spending, a statewide property tax, and limits on property tax liabilities based on the taxpayer’s income. This research closes that knowledge gap by quantifying the capitalization effects of Act 60. Data on property transactions in Vermont are combined with data on Vermont school districts to create a data set that spans the pre- and post-Act 60 period. This data set enables me to use the repeat-sales methodology to determine the capitalization effects of Act 60. The estimates of a standard hedonic specification estimated using all transactions (not just repeat sales) indicate that, while in Vermont property taxes appear to be capitalized into property values, measures of schooling provision are unrelated to property values. The estimates also indicate that finance reforms resulting from Act 60 may have accentuated the gap in property values between districts with relatively high and relatively low spending prior to reform.

Book Synopsis Equity and Adequacy in Education Finance by : National Research Council
Download or read book Equity and Adequacy in Education Finance written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending on K-12 education across the United States and across local school districts has long been characterized by great disparitiesâ€"disparities that reflect differences in property wealth and tax rates. For more than a 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 do the terms "equity" and "adequacy" in school finance really mean? How are these terms relevant to the politics and litigation of school finance reform? What is the impact of court-ordered school finance reform on spending disparities? How do school districts use money from finance reform? 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?

Book Synopsis School Finance and Education Equity by : Bruce D. Baker
Download or read book School Finance and Education Equity written by Bruce D. Baker and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring account of bipartisan political success delivers an expert breakdown of how and why Kansas—a politically conservative state—was able to craft a stable, balanced, and equitable system of funding for its public schools. Beyond a chronicle of one state’s achievements, School Finance and Education Equity provides invaluable policy guidance and lays out a blueprint that other states can use to strengthen their own public education systems. Readers are given an insider’s tour of the Kansas story by Bruce D. Baker, an academic researcher and expert witness in school finance litigation. With more than two decades of involvement with the state, Baker combines historical background, legal analysis, and political and economic contextual data—along with a gleaming wit—to present a thorough, enlightening narrative of Kansas’s K–12 funding journey. As Baker points out, other states can find much to learn here. He shows that, when it comes to school finance, Kansas serves as an exemplar in aligning resources to meet the promises of its constitution. State leaders rejected the pervasive notion that money doesn’t matter in education, and they gathered the data to prove that it does. Baker emphasizes that this kind of slow and steady success hinges on the ability of stakeholders to remain involved over time. Continuity is vitally important. Baker’s account highlights how persistence can overcome opposition, continuity can aid reform, and incremental gains can lead to big change. In an era of national ideological polarization and political and economic volatility, the lessons from Kansas are especially illuminating.

Download or read book Politicians, Judges, and City Schools written by Joel S. Berke and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1985-05-21 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970s, a nationwide school finance reform movement—fueled by litigation challenging the constitutionality of state education funding laws—brought significant changes to the way many states finance their public elementary and secondary school systems. School finance reform poses difficult philosophical questions: what is the meaning of equality in educational opportunity and of equity in the distribution of tax burdens? But it also involves enormous financial complexity (for example, dividing resources among competing special programs) and political risk (such as balancing local control with the need for statewide parity). For those states (like New York) that were slow to make changes a new decade has brought new constraints and complications. Sluggish economic growth, taxpayer revolts, reductions in federal aid, all affect education revenues. And the current concern with educational excellence may obscure the needs of the poor and educationally disadvantaged. This book will provide New York's policy makers and other concerned specialists with a better understanding of the political, economic, and equity issues underlying the school finance reform debate. It details existing inequities, evaluates current financing formulas, and presents options for change. Most important, for all those concerned with education and public policy in New York and elsewhere, it offers a masterful assessment of the trade-offs involved in developing reform programs that balance the conflicting demands of resource equalization, political feasibility, and fiscal responsibility. "Synthesizes the political and fiscal research [on school finance reform] and applies it to the New York Context....A blueprint for how to redesign state school finance....A fine book." —Public Administration Review "This is a book that lucidly discusses the issues in school finance and provides valuable reference material." —American Political Science Review
