Abstract:
|
The political tradition of local school governance predates the existence of the United States. Yet the most prominent methods for selecting local authorities have evolved considerably from their colonial origins in response to the changing political climate of the nation, constituent demands, and legislative innovation. Recognizing the intergovernmental context for policy innovation, this paper examines the diffusion of governance reform in American public education since the release of A Nation at Risk (1983) using discrete event history analysis. Using the complementary log-log model with a cubic spline representation of time, we test the national influence and ideological distance hypotheses for state takeover reform and charter school legislation. Our preliminary results show considerable differences in the respective number of significant relationships and explanatory power for the predicted relationships of both strands of governance reform. |
