Title: The Forgotten Side of School Finance Equity: The Role of Infrastructure Funding in Student Success
Abstract: Traditionally, local school districts have shouldered the burden of funding school infrastructure in the name of local control, relying upon local prop erty tax revenues and the willingness of local voters to approve bond issues.

With emerg ing research establishing the critical role of the physical environment of schools in student success, adequate and equitable funding of infrastructure takes on new urgency.
