Nicola Alexander, associate professor in the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development (OLPD), blogs about “How School Leaders Can Balance the Pressures of Education Finance” in the CEHD Vision 2020 blog.

“The financial stability of a school system can impact students, teachers, parents and entire communities and states. Education finance hits close to home in Minnesota where the achievement gap is among the highest in the nation. My recent research at the University of Minnesota CEHD focuses on the notion of adequacy as a measurement of a school district’s finances and how it impacts student achievement.”
