Understanding Local Control in the Wake of State Education Reform.

Fuhrman, Susan H.; Elmore, Richard F.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v12 n1 p82-96 Spr 1990

It appears that local effects of state policy are greater than those predicted on the basis of state capacity and that localities often gain, rather than lose, influence as a result of state policymaking.
