Education Empire chronicles the evolution of Virginia's Fairfax County public schools, the twelfth largest school system in the country and arguably one of the very best. The book focuses on how Fairfax has addressed a variety of challenges, beginning with explosive enrollment growth in the 1950s and continuing with desegregation, enrollment decline, economic uncertainty, demands for special programs, and intense politicization. Today, Fairfax, like many suburbs across the country, looks increasingly like an urban school system, with rising poverty, large numbers of recent immigrants, and constant pressure from an assortment of special interest groups. While many school systems facing similar developments have experienced a drop in performance, Fairfax students continue to raise their achievement. Daniel L. Duke reveals the keys to Fairfax's remarkable track record. 410 0$aSUNY series in educational leadership. 606 $aSchool management and organization$zVirginia$zFairfax County$vCase studies 606 $aSuburban schools$zVirginia$zFairfax County$vCase studies 615 0$aSchool management and organization 615 0$aSuburban schools 676 $a370/.9755/291 700 $aDuke$b Daniel Linden$0890605 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971727103321 996 $aEducation empire$94363237 997 $aUNINA
