Laboring through Privatization.
Bushweller, Kevin
American School Board Journal, v181 n9 p29-31 Sep 1994
Hiring private contractors to manage school support services, such as food, maintenance, and busing, is a growing trend. Companies such as Marriott Corp., ServiceMaster, ARA Services, and Laidlaw Transit report that school business is steadily increasing. Unions staunchly oppose privatization. This article balances advantages and disadvantages, based on several districts' experiences. (MLH)
