THIS MONOGRAPH, VIEWING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS A POLITICAL ENTITY, DEVOTES ATTENTION TO BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE AND COMMUNITY PROBLEMS WHICH ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT REORGANIZATION. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE CONSEQUENCE OF REORGANIZATION IS THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE LARGER EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM REQUIRES CHANGES WHICH EITHER THE FORMER SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION OR SCHOOL BOARD MAY NOT BE CAPABLE OF EFFECTING. TO DECREASE THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THIS TRANSITION, THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE ADVENT OF SCHOOL DISTRICT REORGANIZATION. THIS DOCUMENT IS ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE OREGON SCHOOL STUDY COUNCIL, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, OREGON 97403, FOR $1.00. (DG)
