Shores, Kenneth A.; Candelaria, Christopher A.; Kabourek, Sarah E. – Stanford Center for Education Policy Analysis, 2019
Sixty-seven school finance reforms (SFRs) in 26 states have taken place since 1990; however, there is little empirical evidence on the heterogeneity of SFR effects. We provide a comprehensive description of how individual reforms affected resource allocation to low- and high-income districts within states, including both financial and…

Hanna, Robert; Morris, Bo – Center for American Progress, 2014
This paper explores what happens to similar groups of children educated in different school districts.

Pittner, Nicholas A.; Carleton, Melissa M.; Casto, Cassandra – Journal of Education Finance, 2010
Beginning in 1997, a series of Ohio Supreme Court decisions ruled that Ohio's school foundation-based funding system was unconstitutional. Despite judicially mandated reform directives, little change was made until recently when Ohio adopted a modified Evidence-Based Model (EBM) into its statutory funding scheme. Ohio's EBM is intended to remedy…

Gensemer, Bruce L. – 1980
Under Ohio's existing educational finance plan, the power of school districts to purchase the educational resources commensurate with each district's educational needs is far from equal. Consideration of four specific potential reforms, separately and in combination, indicates that greater equity can be obtained. If Ohio is to avoid substantial…

Roza, Marguerite; Hill, Paul Thomas – Brookings Papers on Education Policy, 2004
School district budgets typically hide as much as they reveal. Superintendents are finding this as they discover huge deficits that nobody saw coming. District budgets are opaque by design, and they often mask important facts about resource allocation within a district, as well as about total spending. This paper reports the results of an original…
