Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree to which the Illinois Educational Reform Act of 1985 was being implemented at the local school district level as measured by the number of reform-related board motions, discussions and reports documented in local school board minutes the year preceding passage of the reform act and the 2 years following its passage. The study provides evidence of the amount and nature of local policy-making directly responding to legislated reform. Further, it indicates that school boards are responding to some areas of the reform bill more than to others, and that some school boards are responding to reform provisions more than to others. Finally, the study raises serious policy questions about why local school boards have been neglected in the eighties reform movement and about the role of these boards in the future of educational governance.
