| Abstract | Funding public schools is one of the most important functions of states in the United States, provinces in Canada, and local governments in both countries. These two volumes present descriptive information about how state and provincial school-finance systems operated during 1993-94. The volumes consist of two major parts: United States Overview and Canadian Overview which provides an extensive overview of the school-finance systems in the United States and Canada, and State Descriptions and Provincial Descriptions, consist of descriptions of the school-finance programs in all 50 states in the United States, and 11 provinces in Canada. The overview section provides information on school-revenue patterns, approaches to school funding, significant changes in basic-support aid since 1990-91, state-imposed limitations on school taxes and spending, Canadian school-finance plans, and highlights of state descriptions. A users' guide at the beginning of Volume 1 illustrates a variety of uses for the school-finance information: (1) information available for each state or province; (2) state- and province-level users; (3) uses at the federal level; and (4) local-level uses. Volume 1 contains information on states from Alabama through Montana, and volume 2 presents information on Nebraska through Wyoming and the Canadian provinces. A list of state and provincial education department contacts, 25 tables, and 4 figures are included. The best use of the volumes is to understand the range of options used in the school-finance systems in the states and provinces, to determine the general tendencies and exceptional practices for a variety of school-finance issues, and to learn about standardized information on other state and provincial programs.
