Financing schools for high performance
strategies for improving the use of educational resources
de Allan Odden · Publicada por primera vez en 1998
This resource provides a roadmap for redirecting school funds in ways that will dramatically improve student performance. Lead author Allan Odden - one of the nation's foremost scholars in school finance - offers a vision of finance reform that will give local schools more control over their budgets and ultimately boost student performance. Allan Odden and Carolyn Busch look at the inefficiencies in current education spending, examine varied approaches to school-based financing, and offer recommendations for restructuring financing systems to meet ambitious reform goals. In addition, they propose ways to make funding more equitable across districts, outline the various elements that make school-based management work, and describe the key roles and responsibilities for the district even in a decentralized system.
