"Education officials need to furnish leadership in school
elections.... An unsuccessful election reduces educational
opportunities for students" (Kimbrough and Nunnery, 1971, p. 4).
Who can argue with this simple statement? Providing effective
leadership, however, is not that easy. Research and practice have
yet to yield an election formula that always produces winners.
Whether it is requests for bricks and mortar or more operating
money, each election type and context are unique with no guarantee
that a set of campaign strategies successful in one district will
not fail in your community. If successful campaigns were not such a
delicate balance of science and art, the key to success would have
long since been discovered, resulting in significantly more school
districts winning at the ballot box. As members of the baby-boom
generation collectively watch their last child receive a diploma
from our nation's public schools, passing school finance elections
is going to be even more difficult, promising tougher battles with
the electorate and tighter margins between success and failure.
School Finance Elections represents a marriage of research and
successful practice, presenting a comprehensive planning model for
school leaders preparing for and conducting school finance
elections. Information presented emphasizes systems and strategies
rather than specific campaign tactics. Avoiding a myopic focus on
tactics allows school leaders to elevate their thinking to a more
comprehensive and long-range vision of election planning. Each of
the chapters elaborates on one of the ten elements in the authors'
comprehensive planning model. Use of this model has reaped success
in all types of school districts from New Jersey to California, and
Lifto and Senden hope that it brings readers success at the ballot
box as well. For school administrators, school board members,
school business officials, architects and planners, public finance
businesses and, university professors teaching educational
administration classes
