Public Education Policy in Ohio
[ send me this essay ]
A 16 page paper discussing policy implications of the Supreme Court’s 2002 decision to uphold Ohio’s public school voucher program that opponents had claimed to be unconstitutional. The recent Supreme Court decision ultimately should work in favor of the public education system; complaints now appear to be based in resistance to change and efforts to protect the status quo. Little meaningful change has occurred without some point of crisis providing impetus, however. Teachers, parents, legislators and policymakers all want the best for our children, and the effect of changes in Ohio may well lead the way in breaking the chains that have prevented public education from being able to keep up with the changing society and educational needs for the future. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Public Policy Evaluation: Massachusetts Educational Law
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page paper discussing points of analysis of a recent change in Massachusetts law. In the past, Massachusetts has educated its special-needs children under the state "maximum feasible benefit" service standard, but state legislators have decided to reduce services to the "free and appropriate public education" federal standard. The paper evaluates the policy change in terms of Fisher's framework, which assesses empirical validity, program objectives, societal contribution and conformance to the accepted social order. The paper concludes that "maximum feasible benefit" may be preferable, but that reducing special-needs education to the federal standard is an acceptable action. Bibliography lists 1 source.
