This manual is intended to aid school board members in developing an organizational structure within the school district management team that will facilitate efficient and effective response to teacher strikes. In addition to discussing the development of an appropriate organizational structure, the manual also provides tactical advice, presents checklists of important planning questions, and lists sources of additional assistance for school board members faced with the possibility of a teacher strike. Rather than presenting a complete strike plan, it attempts to guide board members and administrators in formulating their own strike plan appropriate to the particular needs of their district. Although the manual was prepared specifically for school boards in the state of Ohio, most of its content will be equally useful to board members in other states as well. (JC)
