Two Hundred Years of Federalism: A Perspective on National Fiscal Policy in Education.

Verstegen, Deborah A.

Journal of Education Finance, v12 n4 p516-48 Spr 1987

Divides the history of educational federalism into three eras: (1) Presidential Federalism (from the Constitution's enactment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1958); (2) Congressional Federalism (from ESEA until Reagan's election); and (3) Gubernatorial Federalism (the 1980's). Federal aid to education has been reduced, leaving policymaking to governors. Includes 121 references. (MLH)
