The Management Systems Series consists of documents of interest to persons concerned with the management of public resources. Operation PEP (Prepare Educational Planners), which called for a three-day session of instruction on Executive (Management Information Systems) was documented in detail as part of this series. This portion attempts to describe the information system of a school district in the same way as it is currently viewed by the educational administrators themselves. It points out that how a system is seen or defined can have an effect on the development of a strategy for improvement of the system and offer an example of a structured reporting system, that of a responsibility accounting system.
