Abstract	Within the public elementary/secondary school systems of the United States there is tremendous diversity in educational funding provided by the federal government, states, and localities. An issue of intense interest to education policymakers is what influences the level and composition of state and local spending. This publication contains papers, presented at the annual National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) State Data Conference, that explored reasons why funding disparity among states persists. The papers share the theme that funding differences arise from differences in geographic location, economic ability, and relative position. These disparities will probably not be resolved quickly. The authors also share a pessimistic assessment of the future, predicting increasing student enrollments which will create more fiscal stress upon states and school systems with poor demographic and fiscal conditions Following the foreword and acknowledgments, the contents include: (1) "Introduction and Overview" (William J. Fowler, Jr.); (2) "Public School Teacher Cost Differences Across the United States: Introduction to a Teacher Cost Index (TCI)" (Jay G.
