The Outsiders: Can a New Breed of Noneducator Superintendents Transform Urban School Systems?

Hurwitz, Sol

American School Board Journal, v188 n6 p10-15 Jun 2001

The urban school systems of four nontraditional superintendents (Harold Levy, Roy Romer, Paul Vallas, and Alan Bersin) include the nation's three largest (New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago) districts and San Diego. Some of these chief executives are managing more successfully than others; all four are facing difficult obstacles. (MLH)
