Abstract
This paper presents the results of a longitudinal study of fiscal characteristics among suburban high school districts in a metro politan area. The findings indicate that if uniformity of fiscal characteristics is essential to equal educational opportunity, then action to ameliorate disparities among districts must be taken at the state or federal level. Mr. Raymond L. Lows is an Assistant Professor of Educational Administration and Supervision at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville; Mr. Glenn J. Swichtenberg is Principal of Adlai E. Stevenson Elementary School, Bloomington, Ill.; Mr. Harlan Litchfield is an Assistant Professor of Education and Supervisor of Off-Campus Student Teaching at Illinois State University; and Mrs. Betty Jean Guth is Coordinator of the Special Education Association of Peoria County, Peoria, Ill.
