Educational Reform and Tax Capacity: Prospects and Limits.

Rydell, Lars H.; Kiermaier, Lock

Journal of Education Finance, v12 n3 p403-20 Win 1987

Educational reforms rest on a true need and a fiscal capacity to finance them. Poorer states already making a substantial tax effort are especially vulnerable. Maine's reform package is based not on across-the-board teacher salary increases, but on increase in year-round professional earnings. Includes 2 tables, 2 figures, and 10 references. (MLH)
