Understanding Governance
Summer
Series
As New Orleans nears the end of the

best model of local control of public schools. The Understanding
Governance Summer Series aims to increase awareness and offer

explore the implications of new governance models on helping shape the

All researchers will discuss how the models outlined in their reports
address: 1) Accountability for improving student achievement, 2)
Equity in access, and 3) School funding
