Black Resources and Black School Board Representation: Does Political Structure Matter?
Robinson, Ted P.; And Others
Social Science Quarterly, v66 n4 p976-82 Dec 1985
Using data from 168 central city school boards, this study examines the impact of different selection plans (at-large, mixed/ward, and appointive) on the relationship between Blacks' resources (numbers, money, and organization) and Black electoral success. Findings suggest that the use of an "at-large" selection system impedes the conversion of Blacks' resources into Black school board seats. (JDH)
