Changes in School Finance Equity: A National Perspective

Berne, Robert and Leanna Stiefel
Journal of Education Finance, 8 (4): 419-435.

Differing methodologies and varied conclusions in research about equity trends in school finance make it impossible to assess national status in school finance reform by using existing studies. Evidence suggests, however, that although horizontal equity has not been achieved, the situation improved from 1940 to 1960 and worsened from 1960 to 1977.
