State Policy and the Non-Monolithic Nature of the Local School District: Organizational and Professional Considerations.
Spillane, James P.
American Educational Research Journal, v35 n1 p33-63 Spr 1998
Examines how the local school district's nonmonolithic character undermines state-level efforts to create more coherent guidance for instruction of teachers. Two districts' responses to a state reading policy are examined to reveal that what the district does by way of enacting state policy is not always internally homogenous. (Author/MAK)
