  • The Origination of Michigan's
    THE ORIGINATION OF MICHIGAN’S CHARTER SCHOOL POLICY: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS By James N. Goenner A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Educational Administration 2011 ABSTRACT THE ORIGINATION OF MICHIGAN’S CHARTER SCHOOL POLICY: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS By James N. Goenner In 1993, Michigan Governor John Engler called the bluff of a political rival, which resulted in the nearly overnight elimination of Michigan’s school funding system and created an opportunity for him to advance his vision for broader educational reform. This study illustrates how Engler functioned as a public policy entrepreneur to take advantage of this window of opportunity in order to advance his vision for a competitive educational marketplace. The idea of using choice and competition to create an educational marketplace had been commonly associated with attempts to privatize public education through vouchers. This posed a seemingly impossible hurdle for Engler, as Michigan’s Constitution has a strict prohibition preventing public funds from being used by non-public schools. Engler was an avid reader and was always searching for new ideas. So when charter schools began to emerge on the educational landscape as a way to withdraw the exclusive control schools districts held over the provision of public education and establish new public schools that could provide choice and competition to the extant system, Engler was intrigued. Applying Schneider, Teske & Mintrom’s (1995) theory of public policy entrepreneurs, the study shows how Engler performed the three essential functions that all entrepreneurs undertake to accomplish their goals in order to originate Michigan’s charter school policy.

Young Municipal Center Detroit, Michigan 48226 Dear Judge Kelly: With this letter I am pleased to transmit the 2005 Annual Report of the Third Circuit Court for your review. This report includes a brief narrative, a compilation of summary statistics, and an overview of the Court’s principal activities and programs in 2005. I would like to highlight two important accomplishments in 2005: • the August transition of entrance and perimeter security at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice from a private provider to the Wayne County Sheriff, and • the successful migration of guardianship cases to the Court’s new case management system. In the first instance, the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers has clearly created a more secure courthouse facility. In the second instance, the migration of guardianship cases represents an important first step in the multi-year project to convert the Court’s three legacy systems to a single state-of-the-art system by 2008.
