Abstract
Two topics dominate discussions of public elementary and secondary
education. The first is declining enrollments and the second is fiscal
problems, especially those problems associated with such catch words as
equity, taxpayer revolt, and tax reform. In this paper, we analyze the
relationship between these two topics by examining enrollment change and
fiscal characteristics in 504 Pennsylvania school districts. Our purpose
is to provide a descriptive base for further research on the fiscal problems
raised by changing school enrollments.
