| Summary: | The volume provides education leaders and policymakers with practical guidance on how to make each dollar go further-whether a given dollar is "old" or "new." This book identifies insights, lessons and suggestions that can help schools spend their funds effectively. The volume is focused on solutions-ways school systems can prioritize and make tradeoffs that can help them spend their dollars more effectively and more general lessons for how leaders can and should think about these issues. The book provides policy-specific recommendations. When it comes to school spending, getting more bang for the buck is never just a matter of spending on "what works." It's a complicated calculus of student needs, available resources, political realities and local context. That's why school spending should never be a mechanical task, but an educational exercise and an opportunity to discover more promising paths forward. This book guides readers through this journey of school spending. |
