  1. The Linkage of Research and School Finance Policy Eric Hanushek Alfred Lindseth

  2. Overview of Issues • Increased demands for linking policy to rigorous research • NCLB • IES and this conference • Range of policies • Specific, programmatic policies • Reading First, class size reduction, after school programs • General institutional policies • Funding, certification, salary policies, accountability
