The Future of School Board Governance

Relevancy and Revelation
Herausgeber: Alsbury, Thomas L.

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Future of School Board Governance combines theoretical debate as well as empirical evidence of the effectiveness and relevancy of local school boards today. Original theorists of competing school board governance theories, current researchers, and researcher/practitioners provided the latest empirical data about the role of school boards as well as applications for practitioners in the field. Such a combination of readings is rarely found in a single volume.
