How Good Does the Information Have to Be to Justify a Press Conference?
Ivory, Gary
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v8 n1 p18-28 2005
This case involves a dilemma that school district evaluators frequently face. A superintendent directs an evaluator to participate in a press conference and present data validating the superintendent's program to improve high school course-passing rates. The evaluator presents his analysis to the superintendent, who directs him to remove some data with the result that the report will reflect more positively on the program. The evaluator believes it is improper evaluation procedure to remove the data. The teachers, meanwhile, have registered their opposition to the superintendent's program, since it negatively impacts their working conditions. (Contains 3 tables and 5 figures.)
