From Cashbox to Classroom: Struggle for Fiscal Reform and Eduational Change in New Jersey - Tapa blanda

This study focuses on the local impact of school finance reform in history. The text looks at issues such as low-income urban versus wealthy suburban income in New Jersey, tracking the impact of a major school finance reform.

This is the first book to link school finance reform to changes in educational practice, including curriculum and instruction as well as programs for at-risk youth. Using data from the state of New Jersey, the authors show how their findings have implications for the development of policies throughout the nation. This volume will help researchers, policymakers and the public better understand the processes by which revenues get turned into services for children which, in turn, will help to make our schools more equitable and efficient.
