Education Finance 1985: A Rising Tide or Steady Fiscal State?

Odden, Allan

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v7 n4 p395-407 Win 1985

Analysis of changes in education funding across all 50 states during the 1980s shows that education revenues per pupil are neither increasing nor decreasing overall, but are staying constant after adjusting for enrollment increases and inflation. Demands for education improvement exceed the level of fiscal resources needed to make improvements. (Author/LMO)
