Adequacy issues in financing urban schools

Abstract

This chapter will survey events in financing urban school districts in the United States from the period of major urban stress in the late 1970s to the present. It will consider the political, economic, and social environment surrounding urban schools and will consider whether we are making progress in both urban school finance equity and urban school finance adequacy. Major public policy initiatives will be considered.
