"This Bill is Better Than no Bill"
The Quarterly Journal of Economics put out a report in October 2015 - The Effects of School Spending on Educational and Economic Outcomes: Evidence from School Finance Reforms. They linked school spending and school finance reforms in public school spending. (This follows a very long-term study from James Coleman at Johns Hopkins University. Coleman's work suggested no connection between money and test scores.) Guess what? District that had more money, on average, did better. And their students had higher wages as adults. The study was not so much about WHY the money affected change but that it DID.
