Town Meeting and Community Engagement.
Uline, Cynthia L.
Journal of School Leadership, v8 n6 p533-57 Nov 1998
Draws upon the history of the American town meeting as a vehicle for understanding this institution. Considers how a New England public school district has used town meetings effectively as a reform vehicle. Town meetings should be considered an honorable, truly democratic forum, not a symbolic gesture to improve public relations. (24 references) (MLH)
