Miller  \nUniversity of Arkansas  \nMei-Yan Lu  \nSan Jose State University  \nG. David Gearhart  \nUniversity of Arkansas  \nThe effective use of financial resources is critical for all educational institutions, especially those K-12 schools that rely on public funding for their main operating revenue. As public entities and state governments increasingly struggle to find the revenue necessary to operate prisons, fund Medicaid/Medicare, improve an aging infrastructure, support social welfare programs, and recover from the Great Recession, educational institutions are finding themselves directly competing with other public agencies for scarce resources. These factors resulted in 29 states reducing funding for public education (Evans, Schwab & Wagner, 2019; Leachman, Masterson, & Figueroa, 2017). In the face of fierce competition, educational leaders must learn how to effectively compete for scarce funds in order to provide the necessary resources that will allow their schools to flourish.  \nKeywords: fundraising; school leadership; school funding; alternative revenue streams  \nTraditionally, public educational institutions have been subsidized through a society’s willingness to tax itself. Most states identify an appropriate personal or property tax rate that all individuals pay, and these funds are then allocated for commonly used services, such as providing free education to all children under a certain age; in most states, this provision is a constitutional requirement of the government.  \nDespite the long-standing tradition of funding education, public schools are often underfunded, especially given the wide range of students these schools attempt to educate. This underfunding leads to cutting and eliminating programs, partially funding other programs, and having to make difficult decisions about how to educate students. Additionally, it also forces public schools into educational fundraising and creating independent school or school districtwide foundations.  \nThe fundraising process is not new to education, and higher education in particular has over 200 years of history aggressively seeking contributions to underwrite their activities, programs, and personnel. And yet, despite the growing need for K-12 schools to diversity their revenue streams, they have engaged in relatively few fundraising activities. Part of the reason for this lack of aggressive fundraising by K-12 schools is the lack of education about how to raise private funds by principals and superintendents.  \nThe process of qualifying an individual to be a school leader is increasingly regulated, increasingly challenging, and has been historically debated for reform for 30 years (National Policy Board for Educational Administration, 1989) . Much of the regulatory creation for school leaders has come about due to legal challenges and errors of the past, including concerns over child welfare, fiscal management problems, risk management, etc. Recent regulations placedon school leaders hinder their ability to creatively solve problems, resulting in a strong national movement to completely deregulate school leadership, allowing politicians, former military and business leaders, for example, to assume these leadership positions with little to no experience in education. Some of these individuals have been highly successful, and others not successful at all, but the common theme throughout the process of assuming a school or district leadership position is that there are minimum necessary skills that an individual must hold to be effective. The current discussion is framed around the skills necessary to garner private resources for schools, and the purpose for conducting this study is to identify and compare methods for teaching K-12 leaders about how to be effective fundraisers.  \nBackground of the Study  \nFundraising has become prominent in all sectors of education an","cbCail8q7qiXFJEV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail8q7qiXFJEV","pdf",124702,"English","# Introduction\n## Funding Pressures and Resource Competition\n## Underfunding and the Shift to Fundraising\n## Regulatory Context for Educational Leaders\n# Background of the Study\n## Growth of Fundraising Across Education\n## External Benefactors and School Outcomes\n## Critiques of Leadership Preparation\n## Requirements and Rubrics for Leadership Roles","[{\"question\":\"Why are educational leaders increasingly focused on fundraising for K-12 schools?\",\"answer\":\"Public education faces reduced state support and greater competition for scarce public resources.
