Bundy Report
Reconnection to Learning, better known as the Bundy Report, was a proposal to decentralize
New York City schools
in the late 1960s.
In the late 1960s
New York State legislature commissioned the Ford Foundation to recommend a partnership between parents and educators. The committee was led by the foundation's president, McGeorge Bundy.[1] Their report, Reconnection to Learning, was better known as the Bundy Report.[2] It proposed school decentralization, which would give local leaders decision-making control over curriculum. An experimental pilot program ran in 1967, backed by Mayor John Lindsay.[1]
