The purpose of this book is to put in focus the contemporary disparities, and future possibilities, of funding for US public education.

This book reimagines educational leadership on behalf of all students. Functional educational leadership-action and agency for reliability-is the theme shared with educators. To thwart the disconnections caused by standardized accountability, function of educational leadership is offered as a tool to construct reliable teaching and learning.

Mired in an archaic purpose, American schools are inhibited by policies tethered to high minimum quality, the nation's definition of educational adequacy. This book deconstructs the barriers that obstruct the future: contemporary public education. This search uncovers the necessities for transforming educational adequacy for all US students.

Traditional public education in the US is under attack. This book details the effects of this assault by the proponents of free market schooling and uses data-based research to fend off the attack.

The scope of this book embraces a dynamic discussion of the value of traditional public education in the US compared with the free market of schooling expressed by privatization/choice education.
