Synopsis

Rethinking how city schools are run for better results
This classic address explores how city boards of education should be structured, how leaders are chosen, and how schools can operate with clear lines of responsibility. It lays out practical ideas for strengthening governance, accountability, and the relationship between elected or appointed officials, administrators, and teachers.

From board size and terms to the roles of a superintendent and professional staff, the book examines how to balance expert direction with lay insight. It also discusses budgeting, building planning, and the separation of policy from day-to-day operations to improve school effectiveness.




  • How boards should be formed, staffed, and held accountable for school policy.

  • The proper balance between professional direction and lay citizen involvement.

  • Methods for budgeting, salaries, and school construction while ensuring fiduciary responsibility.

  • The selection, tenure, and powers of a superintendent and other school leaders.



Ideal for readers interested in the history and theory of urban school administration and its practical implications for governance.
