What Ever Happened to Shared Decision Making?
Sousa, David A.
NASSP Bulletin, v66 n456 p53-56 Oct 1982
A study of 55 New Jersey schools revealed that 35 principals shared none of the decision-making authority with subordinates. In 17 of the schools, half or fewer of the decisions were made by subordinates. Teacher contracts and recent legal rulings were cited as factors discouraging delegation of authority. (MLF)
