Issue Papers in School Finance. A Report to the State Board of Education by The School Finance Task Force.

This report consists mainly of four separate issue papers, each prepared by an individual committee of the Minnesota School Task Force. Topics of the papers include educational management systems, Minnesota's state foundation aid program, school tax levy limitations, and educational overburden. In addition to the issue papers, the report also contains some additional comments and dissenting remarks prepared by individual members of the task force. Each issue paper contains a study summary, the committee's recommendations for action, and a discussion of the problem areas. The foundation aid and levy limitation papers each have an appendix of relevant statistical data. Each of the issue papers is organized so that the casual reader can get the gist of the paper by reading the first few pages of it. (Author/JG)
