Midwest Approaches to School Reform

Accountability of schools and the adequacy of school funding are at the center of the current debate over the direction of America's schools. Recognizing the importance of education to the economy, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago stepped into the debate. To provide a forum in which Midwestern policymakers and researchers could debate these issues, the bank held a conference on education reform. This volume contains the collected papers and discussions from that conference. Though the research and discussion presented in this volume have a decidedly midwestern flavor, for a number of reasons, the ideas presented should be of interest to all researchers and policymakers interested in education in the United States.Downes, Thomas A. is the author of 'Midwest Approaches to School Reform' with ISBN 9780898755602 and ISBN 0898755603.
