Governing Massachusetts Public Schools: Assessing The 1993 Massachusetts Education Reform Act, John Portz
Governing Massachusetts Public Schools: Assessing The 1993 Massachusetts Education Reform Act, John Portz
New England Journal of Public Policy
The Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993 created a number of important changes in public education. In the area of local governance, the act was guided by a corporate model in which authority and responsibilities were reallocated among school committees, superintendents, principals, and newly created school councils. School committees in particular assumed a policymaking role, and superintendents became the chief executive officers of their school districts. This article, based on responses to a mail survey, is an early assessment of the act's governance changes. Superintendents are most satisfied with their role, especially their authority over principals and teachers. School committee …
Umass Chooses A Political Executive: The Politics Of A Presidential Search, Richard A. Hogarty
Umass Chooses A Political Executive: The Politics Of A Presidential Search, Richard A. Hogarty
New England Journal of Public Policy
Horace Mann, the father of American public education, had served as president of the Massachusetts Senate prior to becoming the state's first secretary of education. Since then, as reformers succeeded in removing politics from the sacred groves of academe, appointing a politician to head the state's educational system fell into disfavor. Relatively recently, however, there have been two abortive attempts by politicians to reach the executive pinnacle of public higher education. Both James Collins, in 1986, and David Bartley, in 1991, were defeated in the quest to achieve this goal. Historical understanding of these battles is necessary to comprehend what …
An Implementation Analysis Of The Day Care Law In The National Capital Region, Vicente C. Reyes Phd
An Implementation Analysis Of The Day Care Law In The National Capital Region, Vicente C. Reyes Phd
Dr. Vicente C Reyes Jr
The implementation of the Day Care Law in the National Capital Region can be better appreciated in the light of the success and failure of the implementing agent of the Law, which is the day care center. The study looks at the status and the strengths and weaknesses of the delivery systems of the day care center. Aside from measuring the influence of the organization and management and the environment of the implementing agencies of the Day Care Law, the study also analyzes the different issues confronting the operations of the day care centers. A look into the nature of …

Rising Temperatures: Rising Tides, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Transboundary environmental problems do not distinguish between political boundaries. Global warming is expected to cause thermal expansion of water and melt glaciers. Both are predicted to lead to a rise in sea level. We must enlarge our paradigms to encompass a global reality and reliance upon global participation.

Better High Schools: What Would Create Them?, Theodore R. Sizer
Better High Schools: What Would Create Them?, Theodore R. Sizer
New England Journal of Public Policy
The American desire to improve education has set off a flurry of activity to reform schools. In such a climate of restructuring, Sizer explores what better secondary schools might "look like" if indeed they existed. His consideration of the improved high school is based on five particular conditions — all of which support teachers and students in their engagement with the serious stuff of learning and all of which must exist in one form or another for schools to be effective. The conditions are cast as questions. Sizer locates the responsibility for school reform broadly, from the heart of a …
Parent Involvement In Urban Schools: The View From The Front Of The Classroom, Frances Gamer, Kathleen Mccarthy Mastaby
Parent Involvement In Urban Schools: The View From The Front Of The Classroom, Frances Gamer, Kathleen Mccarthy Mastaby
New England Journal of Public Policy
American educational reform movements focus on efforts to restructure our schools to include all interested parties, especially parents, in the decision-making process. Nowhere is involvement more crucial than in America's inner-city urban neighborhoods. As parents are given a greater voice in their child's school, educators must join them as collaborators. This article identifies elements that impeded parental involvement and recognizes positive and encouraging techniques leading toward successful family-school-community partnerships. An alliance between groups too long seen as opponents rather than proponents must be established.
The Impact Of School Spending On Student Achievement: Results Of Meap Statewide Tests, Robert D. Gaudet
The Impact Of School Spending On Student Achievement: Results Of Meap Statewide Tests, Robert D. Gaudet
New England Journal of Public Policy
Examining school spending and student achievement as measured by the Massachusetts Educational Assessment Program tests on a community-by-community basis indicates that high spending in and of itself does not ensure achievement. While every community must have adequate funding to deliver an acceptable level of education services, there is a wide variation in achievement in similar communities with similar spending. The data suggest that other factors influence outcomes at least as much as spending.
Searching For A Umass President: Transitions And Leaderships, 1970-1991, Richard A. Hogarty
Searching For A Umass President: Transitions And Leaderships, 1970-1991, Richard A. Hogarty
New England Journal of Public Policy
This article traces the history of the five presidential successions that have taken place at the University of Massachusetts since 1970. No manual or campus report will reveal the one best way to conduct a presidential search. How to do so is not easy to prescribe. Suitably fleshed out, the events surrounding these five searches tell us a great deal about what works and what doesn't. It is one thing to offer case illustrations of past events, another to say how they might be put to use by other people in another era with quite different situations and concerns. In …
Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland all have it--a residency requirement--and so does Providence. Having to live in the city for which you work has been deemed to be an important measure in helping to bring people back into the city, and that was the reason it was included in the 1980 Home Rule Charter."
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Should Providence city employees be forced to live in the city? The Home Rule Charter, adopted five years ago, requires them to do so. The executive secretary of the Providence Teachers' Union states that this requirement should not apply to teachers. But, is dropping the residency requirement the answer to the problem of finding adequate numbers of substitute and full-time teachers?"
