Teacher strikes, widespread calls to boost pay, ambitious proposals for strengthening school infrastructure and expanding school choice, and concerns that systems are “starved” for cash — school funding is at the heart of all these issues. Much of the focus has been on raising more money, increasing salaries, and instituting more equitable funding. But the focus on raising new funds raises another question: How might current education dollars be spent more effectively?
Join AEI and the Thomas B. Fordham Institute for a research conference on getting the most bang for the education buck. Panel I will analyze current funding and budget challenges, Panel II will discuss strategies and suggestions for how to get more from the K–12 buck, and Panel III will talk about practical problems and opportunities for doing the most good for students.
