"New, Improved" Mayors Take Over City Schools.
Kirst, Michael; Bulkley, Katrina
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n7 p538-40,542-46 Mar 2000

Mayoral takeovers happen for various reasons: bureaucratic dysfunction, diminishing faith in existing government structures, new demands on city governments, and perceived need for mayoral involvement.
