Lee, Kathryn M. Borman, and William Tyson.In Education Reform in Florida, sociologists and historians evaluate Governor Jeb Bush's nation-leading school reform policies since 1999. They examine the startlingly broad range of education policy changes enacted in Florida during Bush's first term, including moves toward privatization with a voucher system, more government control of public education institutions with centralized accountability mechanisms, and a "superboard" for all public education. The contributors arrive at a mixed conclusion regarding Bush's first-term education policies: while he deserves credit for holding students to higher standards, his policies have, unfortunately, pushed for equality in a very narrow way. The contributors remain skeptical about seeing significant and sweeping improvement in how well Florida schools work for all students.Education and stateFloridaEducational changeFloridaEducation and stateEducational change379.759Borman Kathryn M1620954Dorn Sherman1615153MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809112203321Education reform in Florida3954031UNINA
