From what to so what
The challenge facing public schools is…improved outcomes rather than simple
access.

What’s your bottom line?
…Too many boards focus their attention on the actual dollars, rather than on what the budget is intended to accomplish.
Thomas, The School Board Member Handbook, 1994

The Money Myth
…any education problem requires increased spending and reform is impossible without more funding…

better attendance at budget meetings.”

The school board’s bottomline
It always comes down to what’s best for kids. That is not always easy to figure out, but it remains the only guideline that justifies the action a
board takes.
