This working paper presents the results of one of four case studies conducted under the auspices of the School Finance Redesign Project (SFRP) at the University of Washington. SFRP encompasses research, development, and communications activities that examine how K-12 finance can be redesigned to better support student performance. It addresses the question, “How can we help schools achieve the higher levels of student performance that state and national education standards now demand?” The case studies aimed at identifying the formal rules and conditioning influences that described these systems and exploring if and how the systems were changing in response to heightened performance pressures.
