Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamic enactment process of the 「Jeollabuk-do School Autonomy Ordinance」enacted in 2019 using Kingdon's policy stream model. The stream of policy issues includes indicators of the necessity of legal organization of school autonomous bodies, attempts to enact school autonomy ordinances by each city/provincial office of education, and feedback due to the limitations of the existing school autonomy operation. The stream of politics includes changes in the provincial atmosphere for school autonomy, the emergence and interest of a new administration, and the activities of interest groups in school autonomy ordinances. The stream of policy alternatives includes the proposal of Jeollabuk-do Office of Education, the proposal of Korean Teachers and Educational Workers' Union, the proposal of Korea Federation of Teacher's Associations, and the proposal of private school corporations and principals. These policy alternatives were influenced by policy communities such as teachers' organizations, teachers' unions, and school corporations. These three independent streams were combined as the change of administration became the trigger mechanism. In addition, as progressive policy entrepreneur such as the Jeollabuk-do Superintendent of Education is actively working to urge the enactment of the ordinance, the working-level council for promoting the school autonomy ordinance was held on March 26, 2018, combining these three streams to open a policy window. As a result, the Jeonlabuk-do School Autonomy Ordinance, which has been under legislative discussion for a long time, was finally enacted on February 1, 2019.
