ACU expert explains what it means to “fully fund” schools

The Conversation sought out the expertise of ACU educational leadership expert Dr Paul Kidson to write an article explaining what the deal means, how schools are currently funded, and what other jurisdictions across the country can expect in the lead up to the NSRA.

As Dr Kidson writes in his comprehensive piece, hopefully the day will come when all schools receive what they need.
