What People are Saying
“At a time when federal and state school reform has stalled and local school boards are mired in controversy, Zelman and Sorensen make the case for reimagining school governance, oversight, and funding to promote student success.”
— Bob Taft, Governor of Ohio 1999-2007; distinguished research associate, University of Dayton
“With great care and detail Zelman and Sorensen take the reader on a journey through the history of education in America and review the current state of education policy to lay the foundation for a provocative recasting of the nation’s education system along more pluralistic lines. A worthy read for anyone engaged in re-imaging a brighter future for students and families through a more focused and responsive education system.”
— Paolo DeMaria, CEO and president, National Association of State Boards of Education; Superintendent, public instruction of Ohio 2016–2021
