Abstract Details

Using an inductive method, this case study seeks to give voice to recognized school finance experts throughout Ohio on the topic of the K-12 school funding formula. The research focuses on the experiences of superintendents, treasurers, professors, and organizational leaders who have navigated the state formula. The main thrust revolves around what these authority figures see as crucial issues and their ideas on how to possibly reform an unconstitutional method of funding Ohio’s schools. Data sources include interviews with 11 school funding experts at multiple sites, as well as any participating school district’s financial documents, and also state level task force reports. In order to build the study upon a solid structure, the data collection and analysis are guided by the tenants of interpretive, qualitative research and based upon the tenants of grounded theory. Understanding the voices and perceptions of recognized experts in the field of public school funding could be a significant piece in informing state officials, lobbyists, and educational stakeholders in the ongoing saga of Ohio’s school funding reform.
