Book excerpt: An account and study of an urban school system's turnaround in the first year of Robert S. Spillane's tenure as the Superintendent of Schools. Bud Spillane was excited about getting the Boston city superintendent position but at the same time he had some trepidation. Boston was regarded as one of the worst school systems in the country, plagued by mismanagement, racial discord, and political favoritism. In meeting with the chair of his transition team on the first day at school headquarters, he quipped, "I'm not sure which of the cards my friends sent me is going to be true. One sent a congratulations card and the other a condolences card." It would be his first city superintendency, even though he had served in large districts and was leaving the Deputy Commissioner of Education position in New York. He felt this was the challenge he was looking for. Even though a lot remained to be done, there was one thing he had to do within the first few days. He knew he had only one option. The mayor's words in the newspaper hung like a cow's harness around his neck. "Your budget is running in the red and I'm not giving you any more than what you have and if you miss that target, I'm closing the schools. The same thing happened last year and finally your school board did something and finally closed twenty-seven schools." The transition team advised him not to do it. "It's your first year and in fact your first month and school starts in thirty days, it won't go over. The word on the street from the union is the teachers will strike." A week later, he advised the Board to cut a thousand teachers.

Book excerpt: A Decade of Urban School Reform looks at this critical era in the Boston schools and distills valuable insights and lessons for school leaders and reformers everywhere. In the last decade, the Boston Public Schools has undergone critical reforms that have been of intense interest to school leaders and policymakers throughout the country. Under the leadership of superintendent Thomas Payzant, the Boston schools implemented extensive reform strategies that yielded notable results. Fittingly, at the end of Payzant's superintendency in September 2006, the Boston Public Schools received the Broad Prize for Urban Education for being the most improved urban school district in the country. With chapters that explore questions pertaining to governance, human resources, instruction, data collection, disabilities, community engagement, and other topics, the book offers a detailed, comprehensive portrait of a school system managing the complex and daunting tasks of system-wide reform. The result is a timely, in-depth contribution to the small group of indispensable writings on urban school reform.
