Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: When property tax trends change and the value of the houses reduce, the economy takes a turn and can no longer support the per pupil ratio of dollars that must fund the building, student services, and staff.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: The primary means of demonstrating accountability has been to report results (student test scores) and the costs associated with those results. Evaluation of teachers also has
been a means of demonstrating accountability. Under NCLB, schools must demonstrate adequate yearly progress in student academic achievement using accepted achievement tests. School principals must notify parents if their child's teacher is not highly qualified. For schools that fail assessments, there is the threat of reconstitution or state takeover.
