Predicting Student Achievement in Ohio: The Role of Expenditure Distribution
De Luca, Barbara M.; Hinshaw, Steven A.
Educational Considerations, v40 n3 p9-16 Sum 2014
The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of school district expenditures in predicting student achievement in Ohio for the school year 2009-2010. Building upon the concept of the "65 percent solution," the research questions that guided this study were: (1) What percentage of Ohio's school district's operating budgets were spent on classroom instruction in comparison to administration, building operations, instruction, pupil support, and staff support; (2) To what extent did these predict student achievement; and (3) Which category of expenditure best predicted academic achievement? However, as this study indicated, along with many that have preceded it, there are rarely simple answers to complex questions.
