Please join us for a discussion on disputes and litigation involving states and school districts across the country. Our nation has a long history of local control of public education, and both President Trump and Education Secretary DeVos recently have indicated they believe that education is a “local” issue and “local control” should be restored. But where does local control ultimately reside?
This presentation dives deeper into the true meaning of local control and some of the issues arising between school districts and state governments as they wrestle with this concept. Specifically, the discussion will address current controversies between local school boards and state officials. These areas include hotly disputed issues such as school finance, charter schools, voucher programs and accountability standards.
