Educating Mary Barrosse: Schools and How We Pay for Them.

Shlaes, Amity

Policy Review, n94 p59-70 Apr-May 1999

Examines the consequences of Vermont's effort to equalize school funding so that no district could spend more on its children than another district, exploring the ways in which this approach has lessened education for many, rather than improving education for the disadvantaged. Emphasizes strong public opinion about property taxes and school funding. (SLD)
