Discussion Post - Education Policy
In this discussion, reflect on the article, When it Comes to Education, the Federal Government is in Charge of Um ... What? (See link below) In your initial post, take the position as a local school superintendent. Explain how you think national policy decisions affect local school boards or school districts, which have local control over educating children. How must public administrators in local school districts follow national government legislation with regard to equal access and social equity? In your response, include an example of how there could be national policies that are enforced without funding (unfunded mandates). Consider ways in which local governments are required to meet national requirements with which the local school board disagrees.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
