Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for policymakers, the report examines the federal government's efforts to influence state and local governments on matters of education. Two agencies within the Department of Education are spotlighted: the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Office of Special Education (OSE). Parallel case studies of OCR and OSE were conducted via more than 150 interviews which sought to identify informal strategies used to influence state and local actions. Interviewees included federal officials from both Washington and regional offices; interest group representatives; members of state and local educational agencies; and complainants, parents, and beneficiary group representatives. Following a discussion of the two offices' operating styles and assumptions, a typology of influence methods available to OCR and OSE is postulated. Two major influence strategies (enforcement and promotion) are identified, and the effects of each on decision making administrative processes, and general policies at the state and local level are considered. A final section presents a framework depicting factors to be considered by the federal government in decisions regarding change for local and state government activities. The importance of matching federal goals with local conditions and of using hybrid strategies is emphasized. (CL)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the United States can provide equal educational opportunity to every child The United States Supreme Court closed the courthouse door to federal litigation to narrow educational funding and opportunity gaps in schools when it ruled in San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez in 1973 that the Constitution does not guarantee a right to education. Rodriguez pushed reformers back to the state courts where they have had some success in securing reforms to school funding systems through education and equal protection clauses in state constitutions, but far less success in changing the basic structure of school funding in ways that would ensure access to equitable and adequate funding for schools. Given the limitations of state school funding litigation, education reformers continue to seek new avenues to remedy inequitable disparities in educational opportunity and achievement, including recently returning to federal court. This book is the first comprehensive examination of three issues regarding a federal right to education: why federal intervention is needed to close educational opportunity and achievement gaps; the constitutional and statutory legal avenues that could be employed to guarantee a federal right to education; and, the scope of what a federal right to education should guarantee. A Federal Right to Education provides a timely and thoughtful analysis of how the United States could fulfill its unmet promise to provide equal educational opportunity and the American Dream to every child, regardless of race, class, language proficiency, or neighborhood.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents findings of an independent committee that was organized by the Twentieth Century Fund to study the Federal role in shaping educational policy, and includes the comprehensive background paper (prepared by Paul E. Peterson) on which the task force discussions were based. The report describes current problems in elementary and secondary schooling, reviews effects of the past Federal role in education, and proposes Federal policy involvement in the following areas: (1) establishment of a program to reward teaching excellence ; (2) emphasis on English language literacy; (3) provision of advanced science and mathematics training; (4) continued support of special programs for disadvantaged students; (5) support for educational research; and (6) financial support to provide parents with schooling options. The background paper examines the history and current state of American education, evaluates the impact of Federal policy on education, and provides a framework for evaluating recommendations for change. Specifically, the paper describes declines in educational expansion over the years; suggests that the Federal government has had only modest effects on the educational system; and stresses that Federal policy should consider the need to balance the issues of quality and equality and of Federal direction versus local autonomy in education.

Download or read book Equity and Adequacy in Education Finance written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending on K-12 education across the United States and across local school districts has long been characterized by great disparitiesâ€"disparities that reflect differences in property wealth and tax rates. For more than a quarter-century, reformers have attempted to reduce these differences through court challenges and legislative action. As part of a broad study of education finance, the committee commissioned eight papers examining the history and consequences of school finance reform undertaken in the name of equity and adequacy. This thought-provoking, timely collection of papers explores such topics as: What do the terms "equity" and "adequacy" in school finance really mean? How are these terms relevant to the politics and litigation of school finance reform? What is the impact of court-ordered school finance reform on spending disparities? How do school districts use money from finance reform? What policy options are available to states facing new challenges from court decisions mandating adequacy in school finance? When measuring adequacy, how do you consider differences in student needs and regional costs?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States annually spends over $300 billion on public elementary and secondary education. As the nation enters the 21st century, it faces a major challenge: how best to tie this financial investment to the goal of high levels of achievement for all students. In addition, policymakers want assurance that education dollars are being raised and used in the most efficient and effective possible ways. The book covers such topics as: Legal and legislative efforts to reduce spending and achievement gaps. The shift from "equity" to "adequacy" as a new standard for determining fairness in education spending. The debate and the evidence over the productivity of American schools. Strategies for using school finance in support of broader reforms aimed at raising student achievement. This book contains a comprehensive review of the theory and practice of financing public schools by federal, state, and local governments in the United States. It distills the best available knowledge about the fairness and productivity of expenditures on education and assesses options for changing the finance system.
