School Finance: Fifty Years of Expansion.

Guthrie, James W.

Future of Children, v7 n3 p24-38 Win 1997

Analyzes the increases in per-pupil expenditures in elementary and secondary education since World War II and discusses factors contributing to the increase. A significant cause is the 86% inflation-adjusted increase in teacher salaries between 1949-50 and 1971-72, although teacher salaries have increased little since that time. (SLD)
