State Support for Public Schools

"State Support for Public Schools" is a comprehensive analysis of the financial foundations required to maintain and improve the public education system. Written by Paul R. Mort, a leading expert in the field of educational finance during the early twentieth century, this work explores the critical relationship between state-level funding and the equitable delivery of educational services. The book examines the principles of equalization, investigating how state governments can effectively distribute resources to ensure that every student, regardless of their local district's wealth, has access to a standardized quality of instruction.

Throughout the study, Mort delves into the administrative and economic challenges of school support, offering insights into taxation, budget allocation, and the legislative frameworks that govern public schools. By addressing the structural disparities in local funding, "State Support for Public Schools" lays the groundwork for modern theories of educational equity and policy. This volume is an essential resource for educators, policymakers, and historians interested in the evolution of school finance and the state's enduring responsibility to provide for the education of its youth.
