The Genesis of Reform.

O'Connell, Mary

Equity and Choice, v8 n1 p7-13 Fall 1991

The fall 1987 Chicago (Illinois) teachers' strike, documentation of the systems' problems, a movement to return local control, a history of organizing, the fall 1986 Education Summit, and skepticism about the board's ability to engineer change led to the school system's restructuring through the Chicago Public Schools Reform Act.
