Gobernar, ¡qué gran dilema! Es tal vez a nivel local donde este cambio más fácilmente se puede o se debería apreciar. En este sentido, el estudio de investigación que sigue, pretende poner énfasis en las posibilidades de una nueva forma de gobernar. Es la pretensión de transitar del gobierno local tradicional a un gobierno con la ciudadanía. Esta ciudadanía cada vez es y debe ser más comprometida, más activa más interesada en los asuntos de su ciudad, pues a fin de cuentas le repercuten en su día a día. Así, la mejor forma de tener acceso al gobierno es mediante la organización de redes de actores locales que tengan peso e influencia en la toma de decisiones públicas. De esta manera, las políticas públicas locales adoptadas por el Pleno, han de influirse no sólo por el mandato electoral cada 4 años, sino también por una actividad dinámica de las redes de actores que tengan un acceso real a su gobierno local para hacerlo conocedor de la situación de la ciudadanía en el día a día. De todas las políticas públicas locales de nuestro estudio se va a incidir en la importancia de éstas en el ámbito del patrimonio cultural de la ciudad de Orihuela.

Since the 1980s, Hispanics have been the fastest growing minority in the United States and have been moving into rural, Southern areas where there have previously not been populations of Hispanics. Studies of these demographic changes have concentrated on how communities impacted by the influx of Hispanics have created or adjusted socioeconomic and political infrastructures to accommodate the linguistic and cultural needs of the Hispanic population. The public-school system is a sociopolitical structure that has affected and has been affected by the increase in Hispanics. Whereas the modern Civil Rights movement had created legal precedence for students' language rights and led to the creation of the federal Bilingual Education Act of 1968, nationalist backlash to this rise in Hispanic immigrants led to the eventual defunding of federal bilingual education programs by the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001. This thesis is a policy history of Hispanic growth in the public-school systems in Orange, Lake and Osceola counties in Florida from 1980 to 2010. During that time, the three counties grew and diversified at different rates and made decisions for their English for Speakers of Other Languages programs that correlated with the size of their Hispanic population. This time frame encompasses Osceola's fastest period of growth which led to the creation of the Florida Consent Decree, Florida public schools' framework for remaining compliant with federal and state language policies. Even though federal funds for English acquisition programs replaced funds for bilingual or native language instruction during this time, Hispanic and non-Hispanic teachers, administrators, community or activist groups and parents continued to exert agency in gaining culturally inclusive and linguistically affirming language instruction programs for their children. ; 2019-08-01 ; M.A. ; Arts and Humanities, History ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information.
