School Funding

by Lynn M. Zott

Book Overview

While U.S. education spending is on the high side among developed nations, unfortunately our rate of child poverty far exceeds almost all other countries included in such comparisons. This volume tackles the tough controversies surrounding school funding. Readers will evaluate key issues, including how funds should be allocated, and whether several funding initiatives have been effective. Articles are arranged in a pro versus con sequence, so that readers are provided with various viewpoints in order to form their own intelligent opinions.
