This qualitative study examined the ways in which K-12 central office administrators resolve the philosophical dilemma of maintaining democratic leadership strategies when federal mandates induce a more autocratic environment. Responses to two central research questions - how central office administrators are affected by the accountability and testing demands, and how they manage them - provided insight into efforts to resolve this dilemma. Interviews were conducted with four central office administrators from one school district in Ohio with a K-12 enrollment of 5,500 students.

  • An Historical Policy Analysis of the Carl D. Perkins Legislation: Examining the History, Creation, Implementation and Reauthorization of the Law
    AN HISTORICAL POLICY ANALYSIS OF THE CARL D. PERKINS LEGISLATION: EXAMINING THE HISTORY, CREATION, IMPLEMENTATION AND REAUTHORIZATION OF THE LAW BY AIMEE MICHELLE LAFOLLETTE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Policy Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Yoon Pak, Chair Professor James D. Anderson Professor Debra Bragg Associate Professor Christopher Span ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the historical development of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1984, with the incorporation of ―special populations‖ as a provision in the law from 1963. From 1917 through 1963, vocational funding primarily supported teacher training, research, program improvement, and expansion of vocational programs, in 1963 acknowledging the social climate of the time Congress included provisions to support services for disadvantaged students. In 1984, Congress established prescriptive provisions attaching funds to serve and address the needs of underserved students described as special populations. Vocational education‘s focus expanded from 1963 -1984 to included provisions to create programs eliminating sexual bias and stereotyping. This dissertation traces the foundations by which Congress was led to focus on access to vocational education programs and prescribe funding to serve handicapped, single parents, displaced homemakers, economically disadvantaged, academically disadvantaged, students with limited English proficiency, and gender equity. ii To my children James and Jacob iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I believe Malcolm Gladwell, author of Tipping Point, said it best when he stated that, ―…the people we surround ourselves with have a profound effect on who we are.‖ Personal success can never be attributed to a single individual.

Sec. of Education Terrel Bell to the House of Representatives March 2, 1982 Dear Friend: Will you join thousands of other conservatives and sign your enclosed copy of our petition to President Reagan? It's time for a change at the U.S. Department of Education. During the 1980 campaign. President Reagan promised to work for the elimination of the Department of Education. Why not now? Please sign your petition and return it to me today. The Conservative Caucus needs thousands more of these petitions to make sure the President and his staff get our message loud and clear: "Abolish the Department of Education now." When you return your petition please enclose a contribution as well. The Conservative Caucus needs many checks for $100, $50, $25 and $15 to pay for this nationwide petition drive. We need your contribution today to help pay for the postage, printing, and other costs of reaching at least 250,000 conservatives. We want to make sure that the promises made in 1980 are kept. But the Secretary of Education has a different philosophy than you and I, I believe that the over $13 billion now assigned to the Department of Education should be eliminated from the Federal (Over, please...)

  • Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power
    Order Code RL31836 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power April 2, 2003 Louis Fisher Senior Specialist in Separation of Powers Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Congressional Investigations: Subpoenas and Contempt Power Summary When conducting investigations of the executive branch, congressional committees and Members of Congress generally receive the information required for legislative needs. If agencies fail to cooperate or the President invokes executive privilege, Congress can turn to a number of legislative powers that are likely to compel compliance. The two techniques described in this report are the issuance of subpoenas and the holding of executive officials in contempt. These techniques usually lead to an accommodation that meets the needs of both branches. Litigation is used at times, but federal judges generally encourage congressional and executive parties to settle their differences out of court. The specific examples in this report explain how information disputes arise and how they are resolved. For legal analysis see CRS Report 95-464A, Investigative Oversight: An Introduction to the Law, Practice, and Procedure of Congressional Inquiry, by Morton Rosenberg, and CRS Report RS30319, Presidential Claims of Executive Privilege: History, Law, Practice and Recent Developments, by Morton Rosenberg. A number of legislative tools, including subpoenas and contempt citations, are covered in CRS Report RL30966,

  • Reagan's Cabinet Appointments Get Positive Ratings from the Public
    The Harris Survey For Release: Thursday AM, January 22nd, 1981 1981 #7 ISSN 0273-1037 REAGAN'S CABINET APPOINTMENTS GET POSITIVE RATINGS FROM THE PUBLIC By Louis Harris A 52-34 percent majority of Americans gives President Ronald Reagan positive marks for his Cabinet appointments. The prevailing belief is that an incoming president should have a chance to name his own people to his team, and they should be permitted to try their hand at solving governmental problems over an initial period of time. Some partisan strains still carryover from the election, however, and the Reagan Cabinet will soon be subject to criticism if its performance does not meet the high expectations people have set for it. For example, those who voted for Carter in the last election give the new Cabinet negative marks by 49-38 percent, as do liberals by 50-37 percent. But the majority of Reagan voters, along with Republicans and independents, give the new President high scores on his overall Cabinet selections. There are some wide variations in the public response to the Cabinet, however, as shown by the results of this latest Harris Survey of 1,499 adults nationwide. Four appointments receive broad acceptance: --U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's nomination leads the list, with a 57-27 percent majority that thinks her appointment was sound and right. This is a reflection of people's desire to have more women in prominent government positions. --A 55-27 percent majority gives President Reagan high marks for naming Samuel Pierce, a black New York lawyer, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
