Welcome
to the website of the Education Finance and Accountability Program
(EFAP) at
the Maxwell School, Syracuse University. This program, which was
created in 2001, is part of the well-known, multi-disciplinary Center
for Policy Research.
The purpose of the Education Finance and Accountability Program, or
EFAP, is to promote research, education, and debate about fundamental
issues in the system of elementary and secondary education in the United
States. The central focus of the program is on the tax and state aid
programs that fund this system and on policies to promote efficiency and
accountability in school districts. However, EFAP also sponsors research
and debate on other issues related to elementary and secondary
education.
The central activity at EFAP is scholarly research.
This web site describes current EFAP research projects, provides access to
working papers, and describes publications from past projects. In addition,
the center holds periodic seminars with speakers affiliated with EFAP or
outside speakers. A
calendar
of EFAP events is also available on this web site.
Many graduate students participate in the activities of
EFAP, and graduate education is one of the program’s main concerns. This
web site lists recent dissertations on topics in education by graduate
students affiliated with EFAP provides access to teaching material on
education finance, and describes education-related graduate courses that are
available in the Maxwell School.
