Increasing the Ability of Low-wealth Districts to pay for qualified teachers

• Formula Funding of Schools
  Drawing from new policies in Broward County (FL), Cincinnati (OH), Edmonton (Alberta, Canada), Pittsburgh (PA) and Seattle (WA), CPRE researcher Allan Odden has analyzed the school-based funding formulas in five large urban districts in North America. The paper was published as a chapter in a new UNESCO book (Ross & Levacic, 1998) on such formulas in four countries: Australia, England, New Zealand and the above five districts in North America.
