Sacken, Donal M.; Medina, Marcello, Jr.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v12 n4 p389-402 Win 1990

Events leading to the passage in 1984 of Arizona's bilingual education law are examined using interviews with policy elite and concepts developed by D. E. Mitchell and others (1985) for studying distinctive cultures of state educational policymaking. Passage of a mandatory or more comprehensive law was not likely. (SLD)
