The Aspirations of Systemic Reform Meet the Realities of Localism.

Kirp, David L.; Driver, Cyrus E.

Educational Administration Quarterly, v31 n4 p589-612 Nov 1995

Analyzes how a California suburban school district has responded to over 30 years of federal and state mandates. Examines responses at the district office and individual school sites. The policy "conversation" represented by Redwood City's behavior seems a more likely course of educational policy progression than a more ambitious systemic reform agenda. (75 references) (MLH)
