Drawing on extensive case studies of Baltimore City and Boston, this comprehensive volume identifies the critical policy factors and processes essential for the successful district-wide adoption of community schools. By employing the Multiple Streams Model (Kingdon) to conduct a comparative analysis of policy determination and the narratives of local stakeholders over a 16-year period, the chapters vividly illustrate the pivotal role of federal legislation, funding, and coalition support, as well as the active engagement of community leaders and local advocates, in ensuring policy adoption in Baltimore City. In contrast, the limited reforms implemented in Boston are contextualized in the light of local challenges and hindering dynamics. Ultimately, this volume provides valuable recommendations for stakeholders to foster successful policy uptake in urban school districts.

This comprehensive volume will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers with a keen interest in school reform, urban education, and policy studies. It offers a fresh perspective on policymaking and provides valuable insights into the factors that contribute to successful policy adoption in diverse urban contexts. By examining the experiences of Baltimore City and Boston, the book sheds light on the complexities and challenges involved in implementing community schools and offers practical strategies for stakeholders seeking to promote positive change in their school districts.
