Reform in Small Places: Examining Two Rural Schools' Implementation of State Reform.
Jennings, Nancy E.
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v15 n3 p127-40 Win 1999

Obstacles to rural schools' reform efforts included insufficient human resources to undertake comprehensive reforms and too much familiarity between school and community members, possibly resulting in limited involvement from public stakeholders in school planning.
