Implications of Public School Finance Reform with Local Control

Fred C. White and Bill Miller

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1976, vol. 58, issue 3, 415-424

Abstract: The nation's present interest in school finance reform concerns elimination of inequities in financing and improvement in the delivery of educational services. This paper examines one of the most popular school finance reform proposals that would allow the local school district to select an appropriate tax effort without directly linking quality of education to the district's wealth. Implementation of this reform proposal would result in a slight redistribution of income to poorer districts but would result in further inequities in quality of educational services.
