School Finance: A Policy Perspective 4th Edition by Allan Odden & Lawrence Picus | Educational Policy Textbook | Perfect for Teachers, Administrators & Policy Makers

Completely updated, this is a clear, concise discussion of how recent research in school finance, resource allocation and use for higher performance, and site-based management may impact the funding of our nation's schools. As a core text for all masters and doctoral level students of educational administration, this text is the first to use computer simulations to extend the discussions of school finance formulas into the application stage. Simulations that allow for state, district, and school-based data manipulation are available on the text's website and encourage real-time comparisons of school finance equity.
