Abstract

Using a unique national survey of school board candidates, this article examines the political orientations, policy viewpoints, and candidate platforms of female and male candidates. There are significant partisan and ideological differences between women and men candidates, with women being more politically liberal than men (even after additional controls are considered) and more likely to be Democrats. However, women who run for school board are more likely to be Republicans and are more likely to rate themselves as moderate-to-conservative ideologically. Women and men school board candidates also significantly differ on their views about many (but not all) education policies, especially controversial issues such as multiculturalism, the discussion of homosexuality in public classes, school prayer, and creationism--with women having less conservative views on these matters. Fewer differences emerge between women and men candidates with respect to campaign platforms. Moreover, their policy stances and their campaign platforms showcase women whose views on education policies are clearly moderate and mainstream, doi: 10.1300/J501v28n01_05 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.

32. The politics of Latino education: the biases of at-large elections

Author

Subjects

Abstract

This paper investigates the determinants and consequences of Latino political representation in the field of K-12 education. The first task is to examine the association between Latino population and the Latino presence on school boards. We then investigate if Latino representation is affected by the electoral structure of school boards, as scholars have reached differing conclusions on whether at-large and ward systems hinder or enhance minority descriptive representation. The next step examines the consequences of Latino representation, specifically whether beard membership is associated with the share of Latino school administrators and teachers. The regression results show that Latino population positively affects Latino board representation, but that at-large systems hinder descriptive representation. The primary determinant of Latino administrators is Latino school board membership, and the primary determinant of Latino teachers is Latino administrators. In sum, at-large elections negatively influence Latino educational representation, which produces a ripple effect that ultimately reduces the share of Latino teachers.
