Thesis (Ph.D.)--Michigan State University, 2005.

On March 15, 1994, a constitutional amendment, known as Proposal A, changed the way Michigan funded its public school system. A major source of revenue was shifted from property tax to a sales tax. Distribution of school aid was also radically altered from system rooted in local tax to a centrally controlled foundation grant.

520 $a On March 15, 1994, a constitutional amendment, known as Proposal A, changed the way Michigan funded its public school system. A major source of revenue was shifted from property tax to a sales tax. Distribution of school aid was also radically altered from system rooted in local tax to a centrally controlled foundation grant.
520 $a One of the goals of Proposal A was to narrow the per pupil funding variation existent in Michigan's public school districts. During the seven-year term of this study, disproportionately large funding increases were granted to the low-spending schools relative to the modest revenue increases enjoyed by the highest spending school districts. With the exception of a small number of outliers, the range of per pupil funding variance was narrowed from more than $6 ,000 to $1 ,300.
520 $a This dissertation's population of interest is the group of school districts that gained the most from Proposal A, those districts that received less than $3 ,950 the year before the passage of Proposal A and $6 ,500 in the last year of this study. Two questions were addressed: (1) What did the big winners do with the windfalls? (2) Did decision-making processes change?
520 $a Before the funding change, decision-makers in sample districts chose low taxes rather than advocating expensive educational programs. In apparent anomaly, this did not change with the passage of Proposal A. Relying on quantitative data extracted from various Department of Education sources and qualitative data collected in a series of interviews, this study concludes that cautious decision-makers resisted massive spending increases even though Proposal A ostensibly made money available without impacting local taxes. While the new Proposal A monies were allocated to restoration of program offered in previous years, times of relative affluence, much of the new money was not spent. Money was allowed to accumulate in funds equity. No material changes were perceived in the decision-making process.
