About this manual
Organization and Financing attempts to make the complex subject of school
finance understandable to the general public. It is written for school board
members, legislators, educators, and interested citizens. It can also be used as
a training manual for new school employees or as a reference manual for school
finance professionals. It does not take the place of official OSPI instructions
to school districts.
