Changes in shared decision making as a result of the implementation of school-based management in the Dade County public school system are described in this report. Background information on the school system and its restructuring plan, implemented during the 1987-88 school year, is presented, followed by a discussion of changes in participative decision making. Three focuses of the study include: (1) additional training needs of the staff; (2) efforts to enhance staff participation; and (3) revisions made since initial implementation. A survey of participating schools' principals gave rise to the following recommendations: preplanning; staff follow-up training and support; and teacher compensation commensurate with an increased workload.
