We at the Fordham Institute are proud to have three contributors to the volume on Standards & Accountability in Schools, but for this reviewer personally it is the breadth of topics, the depth of knowledge, and the care in presentation of the material that really makes this reference set stand out. These are the topics that are uppermost in the minds of education stakeholders across the spectrum today, which require the deep knowledge and historical context in order to be properly addressed going forward. -- Jeff Murray * Ohio Gadfly Daily *
With reduced revenue across all school systems, school district leaders need the information presented in these volumes to support their districts′ positions on these important issues. -- Robert J. Safransky * School Business Affairs *
