Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Education, in accordance with the United States Constitution, has been seen as a state responsibility, so historically the role of the federal government has been very limited. The late 1950s through the 1970s saw an expansion of special programs targeted for specific purposes. After retrenchment in the 1980s, there were new efforts to coordinate programs nationwide, as is evidenced most recently in No Child Left Behind, which has specifically targeted student academic achievement, school accountability, and teacher quality.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Chief executive officer = superintendent, school board = legislative policy making body
