Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most school leaders are selected for their creative instructional skills and ability to motivate others. However, even the best educational leaders can be unprepared for the responsibility of spending and accounting for the thousands of dollars that pass through a school's books each year. Without solid understanding of school financial management, administrators may find these reponsibilities a serious distraction from their primary pedagogical mission. They may also risk damage to their careers and to the reputations of their schools. School Money Matters is a concise, practical desk reference, based on sound accounting principles and written specifically for professionals at the school level. It includes understandable guidance on twenty critical topics such as Activity Fund Safeguards, Admission Tickets, Audits, School Credit/Purchasing Cards, Employee Embezzlement, Fund-Raising Events, Gifts to Students or Staff, Parent Organizations, Vending Services, and the School Budget. Featuring a comprehensive glossary of school financial terms, graphic organizers to clarify accounting concepts, and a checklist for monitoring financial activities throughout the school year, this book provides the information principals need to safeguard and protect themselves - and their staffs - from the suspicion of theft or laxness so that maximum time can be devoted to placing instructional resources in the hands of students and staff.

Book excerpt: Your guide to achieving personal financial success from the beginning! $1 from every book sold goes directly to benefitting a children's education charity.CONGRATULATIONS! Please take a moment to pause and celebrate yourself. You are taking a massive leap forward in your life and, after you finish this book, you will have all the tools you need to make outstanding financial decisions every single day for the rest of your life!This book is for you if: You feel like you could have a better understanding of how to manage your money that's congruent with your goals.You're like the average kid in America and you never learned how to manage your money.You're a parent who wants to help educate your kids, so that they can excel in every area of their lives, including their finances.You're a recent college graduate and you want to get started on the right track - financially.You're graduating high school and want to know how to build a solid financial foundation.You're working on getting your financial house in order.You want to learn more about finances and integrate healthier financial habits into your life.I run into so many people these days that are just confused about everything going on with their finances. Many of these people happen to be close friends and family, and I'm determined to help. Let's all be honest here: Between bankers, planners, brokers, attorneys, accountant, and 17 other professionals - you could easily spend more money than you probably have in your bank just trying to find the right advice. We don't learn personal finance in school and the world just serves to confuse us more the longer we spend in it. The other unspoken thing is that everyone thinks their method, or their plan, is the best way or the only way. The truth about finance is that there's a lot of gray area. There are multiple solutions to one problem. There are multiple pathways to every outcome. I'm here to clear everything up. My personal mission is to help young professionals take control of their financial lives - creating a pay yourself first system, avoiding unnecessary costs, asking better questions, and becoming empowered through knowledge. In my head, by reading this book, you will learn so much about all aspects of personal finance, that you will become a resource among your group of friends for all things finance, regardless of what you do for a living. It's a lofty goal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many believe that American education can only be improved with a sizable infusion of new resources into the nation's schools. Others find little evidence that large increases in spending lead to improvements in educational performance. Do additional school resources actually make any difference? The evidence on this question offers a striking paradox. Many analysts have found that extra school resources play a negligible role in improving student achievement while children are in school. Yet many economists have gathered data showing that students who attend well-endowed schools grow up to enjoy better job market success than children whose education takes place in schools where resources are limited. For example, children who attend schools with a lower pupil-teacher ratio and a better educated teaching staff appear to earn higher wages as adults than children who attend poorer schools. This book, which grew out of a Brookings conference, brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss the evidence on the link between school resources and educational and economic outcomes. In a lively exchange of views, they debate whether additional spending can improve the performance of the nation's schools. In addition to editor Gary Burtless, the contributors include Eric Hanushek, University of Rochester; James Heckman, University of Chicago; Julian Betts, University of California, San Diego; Richard Murnane, Harvard University; Larry Hedges, University of Chicago; and Christopher Jencks, Northwestern University.

Book excerpt: Methods of campaign financing have been controversial since George Washington first ran for office, and debates over campaign finance reform have raged just as long. Contemporary critics of reform often contend that it would decrease electoral competition, voter turnout, and the amount of information voters receive about candidates. Money Matters subjects these criticisms to careful, systemic analysis_using simulations, aggregate vote analyses, and individual-level data analyses based on House elections_and concludes that reform, with modest public subsidies and spending limits, would enhance rather than diminish the U.S. system of democratic governance. This timely book helps bridge the gap between quantitative academic research and applied progressive reform efforts. It will be of interest to scholars and students of political parties, the legislative process, campaigns and elections, political institutions, public policy, and political behavior and methodology.

Book excerpt: Maggie Mueller lives a comfortable life in a beautiful Boston suburb. She has never worried about money, until the day her husband disappears and her pleasantly ordinary life takes a sudden and unusual turn. In a matter of hours, the FBI crashes in, foreclosure threatens, and she faces destitution. Maggie, confronted with these crises, refuses to give in. Starting at the beginning, she sets out to learn everything about money; first how to get it, then how to manage it, and finally how to invest it. In the tumultuous year that follows, Maggie remakes herself and her life. She learns that money matters, just not in the same way as she had previously thought. Money Matters is an exciting story that is designed to cover one personal finance concept per chapter. The author uses masterful story telling to share important financial lessons on a wide range of concepts including credit, taxes, retirement plans, and investing basics. The novel dramatizes the consequences of financial illiteracy, and then gently introduces readers to the basic money management skills, using romance and melodrama to enliven material that too often is made overly complex and ambiguous. In clear and easy to understand language, the reader can learn everything from how to raise cash in a pinch to how to trade options on the NYSE. As Maggie learns, finances should not control your life, you should control your finances. Readers will come away with an understanding of financial literacy basics and an ability to comfortably talk about money with everyone from life partners to financial advisors.
