Outside Money in School Board Elections documents and analyzes the injection of external funding into local school board elections. Drawing on a detailed study of elections in five districts, the authors explore what happens when national issues percolate into local politics. They suggest that the involvement of wealthy individuals and national organizations in local school board elections are signs of the nationalization of local education politics that have potentially significant implications for equity and democracy. "Readers can follow the campaign money to discover how new national political actors influence school board elections all over the US. But different local contexts create different local outcomes. This book unearths new insights about the complex external political web confronting local school reform politics." --Michael Kirst, professor emeritus, Stanford, and president, California State Board of Education "'Follow the money' proved to be a smart research strategy for Watergate. Henig, Jacobsen, and Reckhow put it to superb use in their study of outside money in school board elections. With great skill this rich study shows that, while external funding is important, it does not totally supplant local political agency. The authors make a strong case that nationalization in education politics is a major trend to follow in all its nuances." --Clarence N. Stone, research professor of political science and public policy, George Washington University "The education reform fervor that inspired elite donors to shell out hundreds of millions also stirred equally intense criticisms about their influence on local politics. Outside Money in School Board Elections will throw a cold glass of reality in the faces of donors and their critics, having everyone rethink the best way to win over local school boards." --Andre Perry, fellow, The Brookings Institution Jeffrey R.
