Moving Beyond Injustice and Distributive Justice: Toward Transformative Justice in School Finance

Oscar Jimenez-Castellanos, Danielle Farrie, & David Quinn

Chapter twelve critiques school finance policies and outlines the changes that must be made to the way schools are financed in order to see transformational change within the educational system.

We offer a new transformational justice paradigm....this approach will require policymakers at all levels to seek meaningful engagement from communities that value the input of diverse stakeholders, to redefine success beyond the traditional metrics such as standardized approaches. Schools and communities already possess much of the knowledge that is needed to radically transform our school systems to meet the diverse and ever-changing needs of students and staff.”
