School District Matter: Local Educational Authorities and State Instructional Policy.

Spillane, James P.

Educational Policy, v10 n1 p63-87 Mar 1996

Local school districts do not figure prominently in contemporary school reform efforts centered at state and school levels. This article examines how two school districts responded to an expanding state role in instructional policy making. Case studies underline districts' key reform role and suggest that state and local instructional policies are not always similar. (17 references) (MLH)
