      abstract = {School districts propose education tax referenda to attain  funding additional to their state-allocated funds. This  research examines educational finance across public school  dis-tricts to understand the mechanisms that influence the  proposal and approval of such refer-enda. The focus is on  how these mechanisms operate differently in rural and urban  settings. The results suggest that few school districts  take advantage of educational tax referenda, with rural  school districts being more likely to do so than urban  school districts. School districts that do choose to  propose a referendum will very likely gain voter approval.  We find also that racial diversity, competition from  private schools, and school district size operate  differ-ently in urban and rural settings.},
