Local Decision Making: A Report from the Trenches.
Geraci, Bill
Educational Leadership, v53 n4 p50-52 Dec-Jan 1995-96
A social studies teacher observes that after 10 years, decision making will probably never be decentralized in Rochester (New York) schools. Contracts, precedents, school board policy, and state law place far too many restrictions on schools' creativity. Maybe hierarchical administrative decision making is best, so long as community members' input is valued. (MLH)
