Overview
The first work of its kind to present a comprehensive survey of landmark court decisions on educational adequacy and equity claims and their impact on public school reform.Synopsis
The question of how to finance adequate public education for all students, regardless of the wealth of their communities, was the impetus for this book. Walker (educational leadership, management, & policy, Seton Hall U.) looks at education and the democratic ideal, at evidence of unequal educational outcomes, and at the court's role in insuring educational adequacy. She presents a comprehensive survey of landmark court decisions and their impact on public schools, and examines specific legal cases and their outcomes. Chapters include legislative formulations of remedies, the role of state education departments, impact on schools, organizations and governmental agencies, as well as lists of print and non-print resources, court cases, and a glossary.
