In November 2002, Florida voters approved a class size reduction (CSR) amendment to the state constitution that required the State to lower class sizes to specified cap amounts in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade by the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year. Increasing the demand for highly skilled teachers and producing a shift in teacher assignment, the potential impact of smaller classes on the equitable distribution of teacher quality resources is significant. Using 13 years of longitudinal data, this paper provides a longitudinal descriptive analysis of the impact of this CSR legislation on the distribution of teacher resources across all elementary schools in Florida. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester 2017. / April 4, 2017. / Includes bibliographical references. / Patrice Iatarola, Professor Directing Dissertation; Diana Rice, University Representative; Stacey A.
