The Federal Government in Public Education: An Appropriate Role

Abstract

Discusses the Constitutional responsibilities of the US Federal Government for public schools. Citing “control follows funding”, argues that control should remain with the states and school boards. Offers suggestions for reorganizing educational spending and improving educational programmes and school standards. Details important ways for the Federal Government to contribute without taking control.
