Funding Mechanisms, Cost Drivers, and the Distribution of Education Funds in Alberta: A Case Study.
Neu, Dean; Taylor, Alison
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v46 n3 p214-32 Fall 2000
Critical analysis of historical financial data of the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) examined the impact of Alberta's 1994 funding changes on the CBE and the distribution of Alberta's education funding. Findings illustrate how funding mechanisms are used to govern from a distance and how seemingly neutral accounting/funding techniques function to distribute resources among school boards. (Contains 45 references.) (Author/SV)
