Financing Schools Based on Performance Measures.

King, Richard A.; Mathers, Judith K.

School Business Affairs, v65 n1 p3-9 Jan 1999

Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Texas have adopted performance-based rewards and sanctions. Policy makers must balance state and local control and align performance indicators with school improvement goals. (10 references) (MLH)
