"Public Engagement in Five Colorado School Communities","Kmcguane","The reforms which have swept through public education during the last two decades have largely been initiated in state legislatures or the United States Congress. The greater part of all these reform efforts have focused on the professional side of public education. These are not reforms initiated by local communities and have not been, for the most part, designed to permit influence and direction from local communities. In other words, school boards, in Colorado the traditional repository of community values and direction for our schools, are being hustled off to the side of the stage. It is the goal of CASB to revitalize the role of locally elected school boards in public schools in the face of comprehensive reform legislation initiated at both the state and federal level in the last three years. The role of local school boards may be revitalized only if boards find ways to meaningfully engage their publics.
