Public School Finance Decoded discusses why the finance department needs to have a seat at the table during discussions about how to educate the whole child. Written in plain language, this book will empower school administrators to improve student achievement through understanding the impact school finance has on each student. It lays out a process for using expenditure data for predictive purposes towards student achievement and for efficiency indicators, which ensure efficient resource use for the necessary services of a school district.
