Lynn Moak, who has over 40 years’ experience in the realm of school finance and equity issues, provides unique insights into the operation and financing of public education in Texas. Today, he and Wayne Pierce, the Executive Director of the Equity Center, hold an impromptu conversation about school finance, equity and the upcoming legislative session.
Lynn served as Executive Deputy Commissioner of Education and has also been a senior staff member in the Texas Education Agency, the State Comptroller’s Office, and the Lieutenant Governor’s Office. Since 1999, he has been a partner in the firm Moak, Casey & Associates, Inc.. His firm provides legislative, financial and accountability consulting services to school organizations and districts in Texas and other states. He is widely recognized as one of the state’s leading experts in information systems, research and school finance.
During his long career in public administration, Lynn has been involved in virtually every major education finance policy change since 1967. He has presented in every major case regarding public school finance since the Edgewood litigation in 1984. He has conducted research into many facets of public education finance including administrative costs, cost variations associated with size, economic factors, community differentials, and changing state policy. He has participated in the basic design of state systems to gather and report financial and other information. At the regional and local level, he has assisted districts in projects ranging from the design of data systems to the analysis of revenue and expenditure options. So, we feel that this exchange of views should be very informative. We hope you, our listeners, agree and enjoy today’s show.
