Abstract | It has been suggested that policy formation may be influenced by multiple models, institutional theories, rations models of policy, as well as policy perceived as an interpretive problem. This paper examines the history of accountability reporting and educational goals policy in New Mexico and recent evidence from school-level personnel in light of these multiple models. Semistructured interviews were conducted with district and school administrators in two urban and four rural school districts. Two of the rural districts were from the lowest spending districts and two from among the highest spending districts in the state. It was observed in the rural school districts that accountability reporting was most commonly assigned to an existing central-office staffer as an add-on responsibility. Urban districts were able to designate an individual with particular and primary responsibility for accountability reporting. As a result, central staffers in the urban districts were more fully informed about changes to the accountability system. An appendix contains the interview schedule. (DFR) |
