Abstract This study involves an analysis of policy interpretation at the level of local schools, regarding Florida's multicultural education standards. Such middle-level analysis is new; most prior work examined (state) governmental drafting of multicultural policy, or classroom activities by individual teachers. This study is timely, because diversity is growing in U.S. schools, and because this area may soon be added to Florida's standard exam, the FCAT.
