Using School-Level Finance Data: Endless Opportunity or Bottomless Pit?

Picus, Lawrence O.

Journal of Education Finance, v22 n3 p317-30 Win 1997

Describes school-level K-12 revenue and expenditure data collection in California, Texas, Florida, and Minnesota. Neither California nor Minnesota collects school-site fiscal data. Florida's highly advanced district and school-level data collection system has inconsistently reported standardized test scores. Texas has developed a good database to serve that state's accountability program. Limitations and possibilities are discussed. (14 references) (MLH)
