Abstract	This document presents the results of a Forum study of local financial support of schools. The primary objective was to devise a yardstick to measure the local effort in a way useful to both citizens and policymakers. Data on property wealth for each of the 140 local school systems in North Carolina were developed. School systems making the greatest effort to finance the school system placed higher on the overall ranking. Reports provided data on total valuation by county, latest year of revaluation, countywide tax rates, and tax rates for supplemental school taxes. The Department of Public Instruction provided information on federal impact aid grants. The following five tables describe the data used in developing the rankings: (1) Overall Ranking of Local Effort To Finance Schools; (2) Ranking of Five-Year School Funding Effort as a Percentage of Income-Adjusted Local Revenue Based on State Average of County-Wide And Supplemental Tax Rate; (3) Summary of State Property Tax Rates and Valuations And Revenue Per Child; (4) Ranking of Adjusted Property Valuation per Child; and (5) Ranking by Effective Tax Rates. What resulted is an overall ranking that combines three measures: relative effort, actual effort, and ability to pay. (SI)
