On Tapping the Power of School-Based Management: A Conversation with Michael Strembitsky.
O'Neil, John
Educational Leadership, v53 n4 p66-70 Dec-Jan 1995-96

Although the district retained policymaking responsibility, schools could decide matters such as class organization, number of teachers, and budgeting for learning resources and equipment. Giving schools control over their financial resources proved crucial. (MLH)
