Recently the Kansas Policy Institute (formerly known as the Flint Hills Center for Public Policy) released “A Kansas Primer on Education Funding.” This is a four-volume set of research, with volumes one and two available at present.
Volume One is titled “History of Education Finance.” It’s written by Gregory L. Schneider, who is Associate Professor of History at Emporia State University, and also author of the recently-published book The Conservative Century: From Reaction to Revolution
