LEA Flexibility
• Constraining factors:– the perceived tendency for the state to ‘interfere’ by
constraining local decision-making
– strings on the use of resources (federal as well as State)
– the legacy of centralization that contributed to a cultureof ‘rule following’ rather than innovation
– “Limited funding was mentioned as a constraint but wasnot a strong theme among interviewees.”
• Disconnect between perceived flexibility andactual flexibility?
