For K-12 school agencies in California, the funding picture is brighter than it has been since 2001 due mainly to increases in the Proposition 98 guarantee for prior years and resulting adjustments. This two-page summary highlights the increases and explains where the dollars are going for the 2006-07 school year. Findings include: (1) Funding in 2006-07 erases much of the state's debt to K-14 education; (2) General purpose funds and select programs receive large increases; (3) Policymakers...

Americans agree that a child's future should not depend on his or her heritage, parents' income or neighborhood. The U.S. sense of justice insists that America be the land of opportunity where all of its citizens are considered equal. Some people may wonder why funding schools fairly is an issue that needs to be talked about. They may ask: Are schools not okay now? For many years in Texas, many schools were not fine. Based on the wealth of their community, the quality of schools children...

In fiscal year 2001, federal agencies provided $19 billion for university research, a vital part of the nation's research and development effort.

This is the third in a trilogy of policy briefs discussing education and taxation. In their first brief, the authors explain the state's need to increase its investment in public education. In their second, they explain how a Texas-style personal income tax is the best way both to adequately support public education and to reduce reliance on the property tax. In that piece, they outline why a new business tax by itself won't raise enough money to significantly cut property taxes and why a...

As data were acquired in response to the finance questionnaire of the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) for 1966-67 and 1967-68, it became obvious from the responses and from the questions of the users of the data that the data on the endowment funds required more extended review and discussion. Therefore, this discussion of endowments is presented to clear up misconceptions about the quantity, function, and significance of endowment funds held by institutions of higher...

Colleges and universities enjoy a variety of federal tax preferences that are designed to support a broader public purpose--the advancement of higher education and research. Not only are institutions of higher learning exempt from paying federal income taxes, they also are eligible to receive tax deductible charitable contributions and allowed to use tax exempt debt to finance capital expenditures. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study focuses on one of those tax advantages, the ability...

Public education is the foundation of our democracy and the engine of our economy, and Texans have a collective responsibility to ensure that public education is adequately supported. This responsibility needs to be fairly distributed among Texas families in a way that supports economic growth. Recently, some have proposed that Texas replace local school property taxes, or even all local property taxes, by increasing the rate of the state sales tax or expanding the sales tax to more goods and...

In 2011, Grantmakers for Education (GFE) partnered with the Monitor Institute to develop the K-12 Education Strategy Landscape Tool--an asset mapping tool that used interactive data visualization to provide a clear picture of the who, what, where, and when of education grantmaking. The prototype launched in January of 2012. Over a dozen funders participated in the launch by sharing their grantmaking data. Unfortunately, this specific venture and approach proved unsustainable in the long run due...

Of all the controversies swirling around the nation's charter schools, none is more hotly contested than the debate over funding. Charter opponents charge that these autonomous public schools are draining scarce resources from public school districts. Proponents, by contrast, complain that charter schools do not get their fair share of public education dollars. Despite all the controversy around this issue, however, there has been little research about how much public revenue actually goes to...

The primary responsibility for the financing of U.S. primary and secondary education rests with state and local governments. In 1970-1971, local governments had, by far, the greatest role in education financing, providing 52.5% of the total education revenue. State governments contributed 39.1% of total education revenue. Since the early 1970s, the states financial responsibility has increased such that in academic year (AY) 2001-2002 the state governments 49.3% share was considerably larger...

As one considers the almost incredible array of guidelines, regulations, requirements, and contract provisions affecting the allocation of the local school's resources, one must wonder how it is possible to conduct the business of the school at all. Time is not traditionally considered a resource, and local school administrators are rarely trained in using time resources well, particularly in the scheduling and rostering process. This is unfortunate, since teachers' work time is the resource...

This paper considers how educators can best arrive at "big, good ideas" for the improvement of higher education and how they can best put them to use where they are needed. Getting big, good ideas probably comes from working on big, good questions.

The primary problem for American educational finance is not how to tax but how much to tax. In modern fiscal arrangements, States and localities extract resources from their citizens in some combination of sales, income, or wealth taxes. Any tax reform juggles the relative contribution of each source, but the total amount extracted is still the same. For those who wish tax reform, the issue is not the system of taxation, but the system of tax allocation. For example, this society must decide...

New York State is in a crisis in the financing of higher education. The problem is that of accommodating the numbers of students for whom a higher education must be provided at the lowest cost to the taxpayer. It will be enormously costly for the State to provide the needed student spaces if the private institutions are forced to close their doors or be absorbed into the State structure. To alleviate this problem, a long-term and a short-term plan have been devised. The long-term plan should be...
