Kuhlmeier (1988) granted local school officials greater latitude in controlling student expression in the public schools.","Local board of education policy on student expression was a key factor in the Hazelwood decision. There is a rich body of literature on local policymaking, but there is little research on the policy response of local boards of education to a United States Supreme Court decision.","The sample size was 10% of the public school districts in Illinois. Ninety-four public school districts were included in a telephone survey. The response rate was 100%. Those districts reporting the existence of a written policy were asked to complete a written survey and submit a copy of the district policy on student publications. The response rate for the written survey was 91%, and the response rate for the policy submission was 43%. A document analysis was completed for the policies submitted, and 12 personal interviews were conducted. In addition, the chi-square measurement was used to determine the correlation between the existence of a written policy on student publications and six identified district demographic variables.","Of the 94 districts surveyed, 47 (50%) had a written policy on student publications and 47 (50%) did not. The document analysis of local district policies on student publications revealed a reliance on a model policy provided by the Illinois Association of School Boards (55%). The only demographic variable showing a correlation with the existence of a written policy was student population.","As a result of the study, the following recommendations were made: (a) school districts without a policy on student publications should adopt one; (b) school districts with a policy on student publications should conduct a policy review to ensure that it contains Hazelwood provisions; (c) all school districts should adopt a student publications policy which includes the determination of an open or closed forum, the articulation of curriculum objectives, and a statement of purpose for student publications; (d) school districts should subscribe to a policy service, and (e) local school board members and administrators should be required to receive training in policymaking.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:01:34Z (GMT).
