Reviews

[Dave]

Solid information and a good introduction to public school finance. In the end; however, it is still a textbook.

[James Kittredge]

Solid book about school finance, budgeting, and accounting. It doesn't read like a gripping spy thriller, but I didn't expect it to. It taught me stuff I didn't previously know, so I feel like reading it was a win.

Ed.D. Reading! Great book with thorough explanations on he complicated subject of how schools are financed and how the money is distributed within the school building. Recommend for new or emerging school leaders.
