Community Support and Political Leadership
Rutherford and Ahlgren (1990) discuss the need for community support and
political leadership:
"To help ensure that reform does happen, continuing community support for
education is essential. Such support is not easy to sustain in the face of
changing demographics and changing social priorities. Therefore, informed and
determined political leadership at every level and in every sector--government,
business, labor, and education--is crucial for achieving reform. Without such
leadership, community support for educational reform will fade away long before
lasting results can be achieved." (p. 201)
