Hunter, Richard C.; Donahoo, Saran – School Business Affairs, 2001
Describes school district takeovers, primarily urban, by state and city governments. U.S. Supreme Court declined to rule on the legality of school takeovers in a Texas case. Based on 5-year experience with the City of Chicago's takeover of its public schools, positive school-reform outcomes remain illusive. (Contains 14 references.) (PKP)
