Joshua R. Testa – ProQuest LLC, 2020

Kaput, Krista; O'Keefe, Bonnie – Bellwether, 2023
To prepare for the future, state policymakers can learn from the past -- specifically, the Great Recession and the COVID-19 Recession. Drawing on lessons learned from both time periods, the authors of this brief set out to answer the following questions: (1) What lessons from past economic crises might help state policymakers and advocates prepare…

Baker, Bruce D.; Di Carlo, Matthew – Albert Shanker Institute, 2020
The most terrible and lasting effects of the coronavirus pandemic will of course be measured in loss of life. But a parallel tragedy will also be unfolding in the coming months and years, this one affecting those at the beginning of their lives: an unprecedented school funding crisis that threatens to disadvantage a generation of children. School…

Chen, Theresa – Education Trust-West, 2016
On July 1, 2013, Gov. Jerry Brown signed California's landmark Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) into law. In addition to providing districts with greater control over how to spend funds, LCFF marked a tremendous opportunity for educational equity. The new funding law gave districts additional resources, called supplemental and concentration…

Each year, funds from federal, state, and local sources are directed to provide special education and related services to nearly 725,000 students with disabilities in California. To increase equitable outcomes for these students, who comprise nearly 12 percent of California's K-12 population, state-decision-makers agree that more research and…

Willis, Jason; Doutre, Sara Menlove; Krausen, Kelsey; Barrett, Tyson; Ripma, Tye; Caparas, Ruthie – WestEd, 2020
More than 725,000, nearly 12 percent, of California's public school students receive special education and related services. Although more than half of those students spend 80 percent or more of the school day in a general education classroom, California's special education funding system may not be as inclusive as California's classrooms. This…

Petrilli, Mike J. – Policy Innovators in Education Network, 2012
Education spending cuts are upon us. After years of non-stop increases--national k-12 per-pupil spending is up by one-third in inflation-adjusted dollars since 1995--schools now face the near certainty of repeated annual budget cuts for the first time since the Great Depression. In some states and districts, reductions will be dramatic--well into…

Ness, Erik C.; Tandberg, David A. – Journal of Higher Education, 2013
Our fixed-effects panel data analysis of state spending on higher education fills a near void of studies examining capital expenditures on higher education. In our study, we found that political characteristics (e.g., interest group activity, organizational structure, and formal powers) largely account for differences between general fund and…

Dar, Luciana; Lee, Dong-Wook – Journal of Higher Education, 2014
In this article, we explore how partisanship affects state higher education policy priorities and expenditures. We assume that party coalitions are heterogeneous and policy preferences/priorities differ via mediating factors. We find that Democratic Party strength positively affects state funding for higher education but that the effect diminishes…

Miao, Kysie – Center for American Progress, 2012
Performance-based funding is a system based on allocating a portion of a state's higher education budget according to specific performance measures such as course completion, credit attainment, and degree completion, instead of allocating funding based entirely on enrollment.
