This ninth edition of Money and Schools explains and demonstrates the relationship between money and equality of educational opportunity in a way that is clear, precise, and engaging. Grounded in research and best practices, this book provides a broad overview of school finance, budgeting, and resource allocation, an understanding of the underlying economic, social, legal, and political principles that drive how schools are funded, as well as a detailed examination of day-to-day funding operations. Rich pedagogical features include chapter drivers, point/counterpoint discussions, case studies, enrichment activities, and recommended resources. This accessible and engaging book offers strong connections to real-world experiences and detailed information on Pre-K—12 funding history, concepts, and current operations for both aspiring and experienced education leaders in school budgeting, finance, and resource management courses.

New to this ninth edition:

- Coverage of new concepts and trends in this volatile fiscal and political context, including all new cases throughout.

- Two new chapters on funding students with extraordinary needs and funding nontraditional educational delivery systems.

- Updated and enhanced online materials, including quizzes, activities, manipulatives and PowerPoints for Instructors and Students. These resources are available on Routledge’s Instructor Download Hub (www.routledge.com/9781041147282).
