Conflict Management in Declining School Districts.
Boyd, William Lowe; Wheaton, Dennis R.
Peabody Journal of Education, v60 n2 p25-36 Win 1983
Professional literature about managing conflicts associated with declining enrollments indicates the existing tension in this area. A research study shows that, while upper-middle class districts may succeed using a rational approach to decision making, lower class districts, for various reasons, may not. Special problems of urban districts are also discussed. (PP)
