Question

Identify the roles district, state, and federal government agencies have in your local schools.

Answer 1

for the state of michigan

Answer 2

In Michigan, the local district sets the curriculum, chooses the texts, hires the teachers, provides much of the funding through local property taxes, and is responsible for each student's education.

The state provides some funds and requires schools to give state tests (MEAPs) to all students at certain grade levels. These tests strongly influence the local district's curriculum.

The federal government funds a few programs, but mandates more programs than it funds.
