| Abstract | This paper describes some of the significant school-finance policy issues facing the state of Georgia, and speculates as to the possible consequences of certain policy alternatives. The state faces the following potentially divisive issues: (1) proposals for the provision of publicly funded vouchers for private choices in education; (2) the adequacy of funding for public education; and (3) the equitable support of educational opportunity for all students. Following an overview of Georgia's educational finance history, three conclusions are drawn. First, the creation of a voucher plan would be financially damaging to public schools and is likely to be divisive. If a plan that satisfies state and federal constitutional provisions is created, its success is contingent upon the generation of sufficient political and financial support. This support will probably not be generated. Second, adequate funding for public education must remain a goal. Georgia ranks 38th in the nation in per pupil expenditures. Finally, it is unlikely that disparities in per pupil expenditures within the state will be greatly reduced. (LMI) |
