Predicting Public Dissatisfaction: A Study of School Board Member Defeat.

Lutz, Frank W.; Wang, Lee-Yen

Educational Administration Quarterly, v23 n1 p65-77 Feb 1987

This study reanalyzes data collected in 1977 from 95 Ohio school districts and develops a theory of dissatisfaction that may accurately predict school board elections. According to the theory, only when people are dissatisfied enough will they become politically active. Seven tables and 16 references are included. (WTH)
