| Abstract | Although the federal Goals 2000 program provides supplemental funding for systemic education reform, states' fiscal abilities to finance systemic reform are stressed. This paper presents findings of a study that analyzed the extent of fiscal equity present in the southern states and examined the status of systemic reform, school-finance litigation, and school-finance reform in the region. The paper proposes a new school-finance model that promotes equity and equal education opportunities for all students. The study used 1992 fiscal data from the National Center for Education Statistics "Common Core of Data" (CCD92). The analysis evaluated horizontal equity and equal opportunity using selected expenditure, revenue, and wealth variables available in the database. The analysis revealed great variability in equity within and between the states. Because states would find it extremely difficult to fund systemic reform without a source of additional funding, it is imperative that education reform and school-finance reform be considered simultaneously. Policymakers should, therefore, be cognizant of fiscal disparities within states and between states and take the appropriate actions to ensure that every student has an equal opportunity to learn. To expedite this, they should consider new sources of revenue and nontraditional methods for funding schools. Contains 12 tables and 61 endnotes. (Author/LMI) |
