| Abstract | Sound school finance is integral to the provision of a quality education. Indeed, a school district's budget is the financial representation of its educational plan. Thus, a clarion alert for all teachers: "If it's not in your budget, it won't be in your classroom." However, sound school finance is increasingly challenging in an era of scarce resources. Sound School Finance for Educational Excellence provides an in-depth understanding of fundamental practices, processes, and lessons learned and will not only benefit school administrators, personnel, parents, students, and other stakeholders, but also undergird the provision of an excellent education--back cover. |
