Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organization of City School Systems: An Address Delivered Before the Council of School Superintendents of the State of New York at Albany, October 14, 1912 The purpose of this paper is to express in general terms the conclusions reached after an experience of twenty years in dealing with many phases of the subject and also to express what is commonly acknowledged by expert authority in school administration to be the fundamental principles on which all laws which are to govern the public schools of a city should be enacted. Until a permanent policy shall be established in relation to the organization of the machinery for the operation of the public schools in the several cities of the State and upon fundamental principles consonant with the general policy of the State upon public education, and until these prin ciples are well understood by teachers, superintendents and officers who bear official relation to the schools, and until such fundamental principles are generally recognized by municipal authorities, political parties and influential citizens, this subject is one which should receive the consideration not only of organizations of school workers like yours in session' here tonight but of all citizens who have a patriotic interest in the welfare of the State. The first law authorizing the establishment of public schools in this State was enacted in 1795. The permanent basis of a State system of public education was enacted in 1812, or just one hundred years ago. In these early statutes the principle was written that all tax-supported schools and schools receiving State aid should be under State supervision, that the schools constituted a State system and that public officers should be chosen in the several localities to represent the State and to carry into effect the State's policy in relation to public education. This principle became fundamental to all educational enterprises in which the State is interested. It is founded upon the sound doctrine that the welfare of the State depends upon a general dissemination of education in all sections and for the benefit of all citizens and that, where the funds of the State go, the authority, supervision and control of the State must follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two generations, the traditional urban school system—the district—has utterly failed to do its job: prepare its students for a lifetime of success. Millions and millions of boys and girls have suffered the grievous consequences. The district is irreparably broken. For the sake of today’s and tomorrow’s inner-city kids, it must be replaced. The Urban School System of the Future argues that vastly better results can be realized through the creation of a new type of organization that properly manages a city’s portfolio of schools using the revolutionary principles of chartering. It will ensure that new schools are regularly created, that great schools are expanded and replicated, that persistently failing schools are closed, and that families have access to an array of high-quality options. This new entity will focus exclusively on school performance, meaning, among other things, our cities can thoughtfully integrate their traditional public, charter public, and private schools into a single, high-functioning k-12 system. For decades, the district has produced the most heartbreaking results for already at-risk kids. The Urban School System of the Future explains how we can finally turn the tide and create dynamic, responsive, high-performing, self-improving urban school systems that fulfill the promise of public education.

Download or read book The One Best System written by David B. Tyack and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1974-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The One Best System presents a major new interpretation of what actually happened in the development of one of America's most influential institutions. At the same time it is a narrative in which the participants themselves speak out: farm children and factory workers, frontier teachers and city superintendents, black parents and elite reformers. And it encompasses both the achievements and the failures of the system: the successful assimilation of immigrants, racism and class bias; the opportunities offered to some, the injustices perpetuated for others. David Tyack has placed his colorful, wide-ranging view of history within a broad new framework drawn from the most recent work in history, sociology, and political science. He looks at the politics and inertia, the ideologies and power struggles that formed the basis of our present educational system. Using a variety of social perspectives and methods of analysis, Tyack illuminates for all readers the change from village to urban ways of thinking and acting over the course of more than one hundred years.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Los Angeles Unified School District is the second largest public school system in the United States, and one of the largest organizations of any kind in the country. As with urban school systems across the country, the Los Angeles school district is under enormous pressure to improve. The district is under public scrutiny and is the subject of perennial debate about whether it should be broken up, taken over, or otherwise disbanded. In October 2004, the district asked the Council of the Great City Schools to: (1) Provide high-level review of the school district's overall organizational and administrative structure and propose ways to improve it, and assess how well the district's instructional and business operations were integrated and focused on the system's main priorities; (2) Review the district's financial operations, business services, human resources, and other services, and make recommendations to increase their effectiveness and efficiency; and (3) Review and propose ways to strengthen the district's implementation of its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. To conduct its work, the Strategic Support Teams made site visits to the district, reviewed documents and data, interviewed staff and others, and observed operating procedures. The Council and its teams then assembled their findings and designed a set of strategic proposals to assist the district in its efforts to improve its management, operations, effectiveness, and efficiency. Findings and recommendations are organized around six major themes: (1) Organization; (2) Accountability; (3) Business Services; (4) Financial Management; (5) Human Resources; and (6) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The first two chapters of this report (Organization and Accountability) are devoted to major organizational issues and are designed to provide the superintendent with specific recommendations for improving the management and organizational effectiveness of the school district. The last four chapters are directed at managers with line responsibilities for the district's business services, financial operations, human resources, and Enterprise Resource Planning. Overall, Council proposals suggest that a greater emphasis is needed on integrating functions than reorganizing them. (Contains 99 footnotes and 73 figures.
