Ultimately, this volume provides valuable recommendations for stakeholders to foster successful policy uptake in urban school districts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive volume will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers with a keen interest in school reform, urban education, and policy studies.
