The Politics of School District Consolidation and Reorganization Reform in Illinois in 1985 and 1986

The study investigated the range, causes, and sources of the factors that initially prompted state level policy makers to implement a controversial policy change, as part of an overall education reform movement, and then abandon it before it had the opportunity to reach full implementation. The study analyzed the school district consolidation issue in Illinois in 1985 and 1986 through the simultaneous use of four interrelated decision making models in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the policy making processes at the state level.
