An increasing tightness - pressure points for schools’ financial management

This is the second report in NZCER’s three-year study of effective New Zealand schools’ financial decisionmaking. This study is funded by the NZ School Trustees’ Association.

It is based on interviews with principals and board representatives of 17 schools, together with analysis of the schools’ financial data. Material from NZCER’s 2003 national survey is also used in the report.
