The Roles of Superintendents and School Boards in Engaging the Public with the Public Schools.

Houston, Paul; Bryant, Anne

Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n10 p756-59 Jun 1997

Directors of the American Association of School Administrators and the National School Boards Association discuss superintendents' and school boards' complementary roles in ensuring that all community members become public school stakeholders. Boards and superintendents must respect each other, stop sending mixed signals, clarify roles and goals, create media education sections, and discover what people want from schools. (MLH)
