High Schools without Students: Some Thoughts on the Future.
Deal, Terrence E.
Phi Delta Kappan, v64 n7 p485-91 Mar 1983
To cope with declining high school enrollments, administrators can find new clients, programs, and functions or can cut back by dropping "frills" or closing schools. Guidelines for cuts include three approaches: the rational, cutting the least effective programs; the political, acknowledging political realities; and the symbolic, emphasizing constituency interaction.
