This policy brief focuses on design issues surrounding
decentralization policies, drawing from the following
three reports: "Working Models of Choice in Public
Education," by Richard F. Elmore; "Diversity Amidst
Standardization: State Differential Treatment of
Districts," by Susan H. Fuhrman; and "School District
Restructuring in Santa Fe, New Mexico," by Martin Carnoy
and Jean McDonnell. The first part describes design
issues in school choice programs--understanding the
relationship between demand- and supply-side choice,
providing benefits to all clients, and integrating choice
programs with existing school systems. The next section
describes design issues in programs (within districts or
schools) which must vary regulatory treatment in order to
be effective. This subject is discussed with reference
to: (1) eligibility for waivers; (2) willingness of
schools to participate; and (3) interaction with existing
state policies. Design issues in district
decentralization are examined last, with a focus on
strategies used by the Santa Fe school system to address
teachers' rewards, leadership, and parent support. A
conclusion is that programs for school choice,
deregulation, and decentralization primarily involve
changing the incentives offered to participants. An
annotated bibliography of four sources and information on
the Center for Policy Research in Education (CPRE) and
its publications are included. (3 references) (LMI)
