Walsh, Norman J.
Education and Urban Society, v27 n2 p195-205 Feb 1995
Analyzes the Baltimore Public School District's contract with a private for-profit company to manage the instructional programs of nine schools. It shows that the award of the contract was solely a political consideration; no financial experts were involved. Additionally, the program has not improved test scores and is being challenged by the teachers' union. (GR)
