Systemic Reform - October 1996

Chapter 3
State Profiles

This chapter profiles the three states included in our study of systemic reform. The profiles, which are drawn from case studies presented in Volume II of this report, provide a brief demographic and fiscal overview of each state, the state strategy for systemic reform, and key components of its systemic reform initiative. The case studies include more detailed information on state policies, and describe and analyze reform efforts in a small sample of reforming schools and school districts in each state. The findings and analyses presented in Chapters 4 through 7 are based on data reported in these three more comprehensive case studies.
