In an ever-changing world, Educational Entrepreneurship: Promoting Public-Private Partnerships for the 21st Century explores alternatives to budget shortfalls and limited educational funds coupled with increasing state and federal mandates that are often largely underfunded or not funded at all. Kudos to authors Young and Bittel for building an awareness of the focused need for school districts to strongly consider seeking public and private partnerships for the benefits of cooperative purchasing, shared services, and other creative ways to maximize fiscal resources without straining to maintain status quo year after year after year. This new concept must be shared with school superintendents, curriculum leaders, financial managers, administrators, boards of education, and boards of finance members to uncover the benefits of distributed interest; educational entrepreneurship marries business and education. Stop the budget struggle and know that everyone can be part of the solution to improve K-12 education--now more than ever!--E. Marie McPadden, EdD, director of curriculum and staff development Amity Regional School District No. 5, Woodbridge, CT
