The third portion of Houston Education Research Consortium's research into Houston ISD's decentralization shows the realities of what decentralization in the 1999-00 school year caused, specifically with state testing.
One of the findings in the brief below concludes decentralization was not related to increasing test scores of students and was also not related to passing rates of economically disadvantaged students, black or Hispanic students.
Adopted decades ago, the model was called into question recently. New research begins to answer those questions.
his research brief is Part I of a four-part series that studies the implementation and impact of the HISD decision to decentralize in the 1990s
This research brief looks at HISD principal attitudes and satisfaction within the current decentralized model.
This brief addresses Houston ISD's decentralization funding and is the final part of a larger study about HISD's decentralization.
