Berke, Joel S.; And Others
This document provides background information intended to help in the formulation of educational finance policy at the national level.

The second chapter analyzes the role of federal aid in school finance. The third and final chapter presents the context for policy development, including the updating of equalization aid policies, the impact of court decisions on educational finance, and the role of the Education Amendments of 1974.
