The relationship between boards of education and school administrative personnel has been eroding, with some middle management personnel forming their own bargaining groups. It is the author's opinion that universal collective bargaining rights for administrators will prove to be tragic for education. He therefore supports involvement for principals, supervisors, and other midlevel administrators in policy-making. He advocates separating policy and procedural issues from salary issues, a goal that can be accomplished by creating two committees, one to consider each area. The goal is to establish a climate between board members and administrators that emphasizes mutual respect and understanding. (Author)
