Dr. David Turner - Educational Reform Act 1985

Dr. David Turner served as the high school principal at Porta High School (Petersburg, Illinois) from 1975 to 1992, and was the Executive Director of the Illinois Principals Association from 1992 to 2004. From that perspective, he discusses Illinois's landmark 1985 Educational Reform Act, focusing particular attention on how the legislation was monitored through the Management School Alliance (including school boards, school business officials, and school central office administrators), and assisting principals with legal matters and school contracts.
