Abstract

School districts are traditionally subject to a variety of state regulations on educational inputs. Absent regulations, policymakers fear that districts will make inappropriate decisions. However, it is also possible that regulations hinder schools from optimizing student learning. This article tests the salience of these hypotheses by estimating the impact of the Texas District of Innovation statute, which allows districts to opt out of regulations on inputs like teacher certification and class sizes. Using web-scraped implementation data, I document widespread exemptions and variation in regulatory preferences. However, staggered difference-in-differences analyses demonstrate a limited impact of deregulation within 4 years, suggesting that deregulation alone is a relatively weak lever for spurring innovation and changing the state of education.

州教育监管的作用:来自德克萨斯州创新地区法规的证据
学区传统上受制于各州对教育投入的各种规定。没有监管,政策制定者担心地区会做出不恰当的决定。然而,也有可能是规章制度阻碍了学校优化学生的学习。本文通过估计德克萨斯州创新区法规的影响来检验这些假设的显著性,该法规允许地区选择退出对教师认证和班级规模等投入的监管。通过使用网络收集的执行数据,我记录了监管偏好的广泛豁免和变化。然而,交错差异分析表明,放松管制在4年内的影响有限,这表明放松管制本身是刺激创新和改变教育状况的相对较弱的杠杆。

期刊介绍: Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA) publishes manuscripts of theoretical or practical interest to those engaged in educational evaluation or policy analysis, including economic, demographic, financial, and political analyses of education policies, and significant meta-analyses or syntheses that address issues of current concern. The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
