Synopsis
This book brings to light fascinating details about the real cost of public education―one of America's biggest industries. It demonstrates that government statistics on the costs of public education substantially understate the actual costs to taxpayers. The phasing in of new and more accurate reporting requirements by 2006 will help in determining the real cost of public education.
Controversy over the new reporting requirements will generate a high level of interest among policymakers, school board members, school administrators, professors of education, the media, and others interested in education.

Review
The authors meticulously support each area with statistics. Highly recommended. (CHOICE)
Given the lively policy debates and litigation surrounding school finance, it is surprising that scholars have not done a better job of measuring the social cost of public elementary and secondary education. One can only hope that Lieberman and Haar's careful scholarship will stimulate further research in this area. (Education Next: Journal of Opinion And Research)
...the analysis in the book is straightforward and easy to follow..a book that educators should read.... (Nassp Bulletin)
...the financial issues the authors analyze are critically important to understand our public schools. (The Washington Times)
