The first national overview of school participatory budgeting in the U.S., tracing its growth from one Phoenix high school to 1,000+ schools across 15 states. Researchers at Arizona State University profile school PB state by state, compare large ongoing programs in Arizona, Illinois, and New York with smaller and one-time efforts elsewhere, and identify what helps school PB last: committed champions, strong partner organizations, institutional support, and steady funding. The report closes with recommendations for sustaining and scaling school PB.
