Stretching the School Dollar: How Schools and Districts Can Save Money While Serving Students Best

Educational Innovations Series

by Frederick M. Hess (Editor), Eric Osberg

Simultaneous pressures to reduce costs and increase student achievement have never been greater than they are today. Not only is cost-cutting essential in this era of tightened resources, argue Hess and Osberg, but eliminating inefficient spending is critical for freeing up resources to drive school reform.

Stretching the School Dollar book brings together a dynamic group of authors—scholars, consultants, journalists, and entrepreneurs—who offer fresh insights into an issue no school or district can afford to ignore.

Stretching the School Dollar is a volume in the Educational Innovations series.

Excellent collection of essays on how schools and districts can increase effectiveness without spending more money. The essay by Stacey Childress is particularly top-notch.

Outstanding resource on school finance. Constructed for those at the local level, for the most part. Offers some outside the box thinking to put the focus on students.
