Few scholars have engaged in close examinations of state boards of education (SBOEs), their make-up, or the broader implications of their influence over time. SBOE membership, authority, and impact differ significantly across the 50 states. This article reports findings from an exploratory study of three SBOEs and their role as policy actors. Thinking about SBOEs as policy actors focuses attention not only on the power, authority, and policy-making functions of SBOEs, but also on the individuals who serve on SBOEs, their actions, and the discourses constructed through the performance of their policy work.

This chapter discusses the delivery of Interpersonal Psychotherapy–Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST) in school settings. The literature on school-based mental health programs is reviewed. Advantages of delivering preventive interventions in schools and challenges to implementation are outlined. These challenges include obtaining agreement from school personnel and boards of education; identifying personnel who will take the lead in implementing IPT-AST; identifying adolescents who will be appropriate for these services; explaining IPT-AST to adolescents and parents to engage them in the program; and managing logistical and scheduling issues within the schools. The authors discuss strategies to address the challenges of implementing this depression prevention program in a school setting.

Rural Service

This article describes the core of a larger study that examined rural special education service delivery problems as perceived by various personnel within County Boards of Education as opposed to, County Boards of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities within a 12-county area of northwest Ohio. By utilizing instrumentation similar to an earlier national study conducted by Helge (1983), responses were compared between agencies within the 12 counties themselves, as well as, parallel comparisons drawn with national outcomes. Limited access to educational support services, geographic isolation, commuting distance, carreer opportunities, burnout, and scarcity of personnel were identified as problem areas. Recommendations that are low-to-no-cost are provided that address each identified problem area within the 12-county region.
