The National Education Finance Academy (NEFA) has completed a
project providing a one- of-a-kind practical book on funding P-12
education in the United States. The book, entitled Funding Public
Schools in the United States and Indian Country is a single volume

association officials; and the remaining 25% of chapters are
authored by ASBO affiliate states. Each chapter contains
information about: Each state's aid formula background; Basic
support program description and operation (the state aid formula)
including how school aid is apportioned (e.g., state
appropriations, local tax contributions, cost share ratios, and
more); Supplemental funding options relating to how school
districts raise funds attached to or above the regular state aid
scheme; Compensatory programs operated in school districts and how
those are funded and aided; Categorical programs operated in school
districts and how those are funded and aided; Any funding supports
