Více o knize

The book explores mayoral control as a reform strategy aimed at addressing the persistent educational challenges in urban districts, particularly the learning gap between low-income and middle-class students. It highlights the implementation of this approach in major cities like Boston and Chicago since the mid-1990s, emphasizing a case study of New York City. With its vast and diverse student population, NYC exemplifies the complexities and potential of mayoral control to enact meaningful change in urban education systems.
