Local teacher associations are urged to share this handbook with school administrators and citizens as the first step in a cooperative effort in school finance campaigns. Advice is given to administrators, teachers, and citizens on planning the campaign, the role of teachers and education associations, developing strategy, identifying the voters, developing a theme and message, financing the campaign, developing a campaign timetable, choosing communication channels, grassroots work, campaign organization and staffing, basic tools, characteristics of the opposition, and postcampaign procedures. Sample materials for use in school tax election campaigns are appended; they range from an organization chart to sample letters designed to reach various groups of voters. (TT)
