Money and Schools 9th Edition explains and demonstrates the relationship between money and equality of educational opportunity in a way that is clear, precise, and engaging. Grounded in research and best practices, this book provides a broad overview of school finance, budgeting, and resource allocation, an understanding of the underlying economic, social, legal, and political principles that drive how schools are funded, as well as a detailed examination of day-to-day funding operations. Rich pedagogical features include chapter drivers, point/counterpoint discussions, case studies, enrichment activities, and recommended resources. This accessible and engaging book offers strong connections to real-world experiences and detailed information on PreK–12 funding history, concepts, and current operations for both aspiring and experienced education leaders in school budgeting, finance, and resource management courses.
New to this 9th edition:
- Coverage of new concepts and trends in this volatile fiscal and political context, including all new cases throughout
- Two new chapters on funding students with extraordinary needs and funding nontraditional educational delivery systems
- Updated and enhanced online materials, including quizzes, activities, manipulatives and PowerPoints for Instructors and Students. These resources are available on Routledge’s Instructor Download Hub, accessible here: https://www.routledge.com/9781041147282
