P-12 and higher education finance policies and resources impact human resources administration. By examining education finance policy analyses covering 50 states written from 2013 to 2019, we illuminate human resource trends and challenges that emerged during this time. The purpose of this document analysis was to synthesize and share emerging human resources trends in education finance from across 50 states with a wide audience of P-12 and higher education administrators, graduate students, and policymakers, paying particular attention to issues of educational inequities. We identified key human resources administration areas where state financial support for P-12 has increased (pre-K, special education, and English language learning), areas of priority for state policymakers for both P-12 and higher education (career and technical education, performance-based funding), and challenges for P-12 (stagnating teacher pay coupled with rising health insurance and retirement costs and increasing student enrollment).
