The Irony of Year-Round Schools: Mexican Migrant Resistance in a California Community during the Civil Rights Era.
Donato, Ruben
Educational Administration Quarterly, v32 n2 p181-208 Apr 1996
Examines the politics of year-round education in Brownfield, California, in the 1970s. Findings showed that Mexican Americans challenged the proposed 45-15 plan because they were excluded from the decision-making process and because the plan conflicted with migrant workers' employment patterns. Formal mechanisms must be activated to guard all groups' well-being. (80 references) (MLH)
