Successful Management of Public School Capital Improvement Programs.

Filardo, Mary

School Business Affairs, v66 n12 p4-6,8-10 Dec 2000

In 1999, the 21st Century School Fund interviewed seven large school districts regarding management of capital-improvement programs. Researchers found three basic models: in-house management, other-public-agency management, and private-sector management. Systematic oversight and quality-control approaches will protect school systems from mismanagement, fraud, and abuse. (MLH)
