Efficiency models have not been used, however, to explore district-level internal efficiency in Ohio. That is the purpose of this study, which is focused on how well money within education maximizes educational outputs in Ohio school districts to raise student academic achievement for all students. Specifically this study: develops a research-based formula to measure efficiency of Ohio school districts, develops financial and student performance indicators based upon general theory, reviews current literature on the research question and examines the Ohio Department of Education’s accountability system. This study begins with a pilot study that includes school districts from a select geographical region in all Ohio, calculates correlation statistics to measure the strength of relationships between financial inputs and student performance outputs in Ohio school districts, and further compares and contrasts financial inputs and student performance outputs among ten specific student groups from the total population. The interpretations that result from this research are based upon the state-wide student performance accountability movement mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act and supported by research conducted by leaders in this field of research including but not limited to: Bracey, Carnoy and Loeb, Figlio, Hanushek and Raymond, Jacob and Peterson and West. The empirical model evolves from analytical frameworks that were originally used to support the belief that money has no systematic effect on student academic performance. Throughout the growth of the pilot study the empirical model develops into a study that includes not only the previously stated theory-based approach that relied on Hanushek’s body of literature, but also embodies a multitude of theories including those of Hedges, Laine and Greenwald, Heckman, Kain and Rivkin, Klitgaard and Hall, Murnane and Philips, Milanowski, Kimball and Odden, Murnane and Philips and Pritchard who all support the ideology that financial inputs directly impact student performance. The final empirical model and theoretical interpretations are concerned with district efficiency and maximizing student performance. 2006-09-14 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1155662321 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1155662321 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
