Beskrivning

This unique collection examines the social justice implications of contemporary economic, finance, and budgeting policies affecting the K-12 education system in the United States. The authors included in this volume provide critiques and explorations of several established theories and policy approaches that undergird contemporary thinking in the field of school finance. These explorations offer themselves as foundations for building new frameworks to understand how school finance policies might better support broader changes needed to improve the educational conditions faced by those individuals and groups traditionally underrepresented in economic, political, and social policy arenas.

Recensioner i media

Ernest House, Professor, University of Colorado"I believe this book could make a significant contribution to the educational finance literature, depending on how the individual chapters are executed. . . . Certainly, from the proposal and the people involved, it seems to me worth a try. It would fill a big hole in the literature."Luis Huerta, Assistant Professor, Teachers College"There is certainly a potential niche for this sort of book, mostly because there is no text in school finance that I know of that provides a strong link between social issues and the economic and policy issues that dominate current discussions on school finance policy. The challenge for this book, however, will be to embrace both an audience that examines issues from a social policy perspective and an audience that approaches issues from a more rational economic perspective (the traditionalist in school finance research and policy). This challenge is what makes this book proposal a good candidate that can begin bridging the divide."
