The Forgotten Side of School Finance Equity: The Role of Infrastructure Funding in Student Success
Crampton, Faith E.; Thompson, David C.; Vesely, Randall S.
NASSP Bulletin, v88 n640 p29-52 2004
Traditionally, local school districts have shouldered the burden of funding school infrastructure in the name of local control, relying upon local property tax revenues and the willingness of local voters to approve bond issues. Given vast disparities in school districts' property wealth, gross inequities in school facilities will remain without new state or federal funding. With emerging research establishing the critical role of the physical environment of schools in student success, adequate and equitable funding of infrastructure takes on new urgency.
