West Virginia's Financial Dilemma: The Ideal School System in the Real World.

Flanigan, J. L.

Journal of Education Finance, v15 n2 p229-43 Fall 1989

Discusses the educational finance problems facing West Virginia since Judge Arthur Recht ruled the state's school funding system unconstitutional because it created disparities and inequities. Unfortunately, Judge Jerry Cook's 1987 funding plan was overturned in November 1988, and the state legislature has failed to address property reappraisal and adequate revenue sources issues. Includes 48 footnotes. (MLH)
