Why Communities Protest School Closings.
Berger, Michael A.
Education and Urban Society, v15 n2 p149-53 Feb 1983
Case studies of community opposition to school closure decisions in 65 school districts indicated the tendency for opposition to be greater in districts where planning was more comprehensive; in communities where incompabilities were perceived between the superintendent and the board of education; and in urban versus suburban and rural areas.
