Abstract | This paper presents findings of a study that determined the contribution of selected factors to the ability of 15 school districts within the Toledo, Ohio metropolitan area to generate revenue over a 7-year period, 1982-88. Data were obtained from the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Department of Taxation. Simulations were prepared for each of the districts for each year. Although residential property valuation was the greatest contributor of increased revenue for 7 of the 15 districts, a variety of sources made the greatest contribution for the remaining districts. Additional state funding (Disadvantaged Pupil Impact Aid) was the largest contributor of revenue for Toledo, the urban district. The many sources of potential revenue growth made it difficult to compare the revenue performance of Ohio school districts; however, their diversity increased the chance that weakness in one source, such as property valuation, could be offset by strength in another area. Also, the diversity of these sources of revenue growth illustrates the difficulty in devising modifications to the school-finance system. Officials and patrons of school districts are unlikely to support changes in the funding system that benefit only neighboring districts. Three tables are included. (LMI) |
