This text presents the realities of school finance policy, issues, and applications to prepare educational leadership candidates for their future roles as school principals, superintendents, and other administrative positions. Authors William Owings and Leslie Kaplan provide guidance to help administrators understand the general finance and appropriation structure of federal, state, and local government as well as how to formulate and manage school budgets. They also go beyond coverage found in other texts by providing critical analysis and unique chapters on misconceptions about school finance, demographic issues, spending and student achievement, and future trends.

Review:
"[This text] provides thorough coverage of public school finance and is written in language students can understand. Case studies are excellent. Students often fear a school finance class, but this text allies their fears and gives them a totally different perspective on funding schools."

"[The book is] comprehensive, current, well written, and user friendly for both students and instructors."
