"Over the years, many professors have published books that have sought to encapsulate the several aspects of school management responsibilities, but few, if any, have been as successful in this pursuit as professors Thompson, Crampton, and Wood in this fine textbook, Money and Schools. This book explains complex, specialized tasks of school business managers and budget officers in a highly readable fashion that is clear to even the most junior official. I highly recommend this book for use in graduate study in educational administration programs." - Kern Alexander, Excellence Professor, Department of Educational and Organizational Leadership, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

A truly valuable contribution!" - Oscar Jiménez-Castellanos, Associate Professor at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University
"A new edition, this includes cutting edge research; new concepts and updated and enhanced web resources and recommended reading lists. [...] Those teaching and managing school finances will find this book a useful fount of knowledge to pass on as well as being invaluable in helping them to make the best of what may be increasingly reduced and unforecastable resources." – Parents in Touch, UK
