Book Superintendent Perceptions of Factors Contributing to the Sustainability and Independence of Unconsolidated Small  Rural Public School Districts

Download or read book Superintendent Perceptions of Factors Contributing to the Sustainability and Independence of Unconsolidated Small Rural Public School Districts written by Michael L. Butzow and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consolidating public school districts is a well-documented phenomenon. Small, rural districts have often been the targets of consolidation. The rationale for merging districts is grounded in economy of scale theory, which presumes that larger enrollment produces educational advantages and efficient per-pupil resource expenditure. Some oppose consolidation citing support for smaller, community-based schools. Though trends, economic factors, and legislation may compel districts to consider consolidation, some manage to remain independently sustainable. The research question is, How have small, rural public school districts that have considered consolidating with one or more other school districts remained independent and sustainable? In a collective case study, eight small, independent Midwestern rural public school districts were examined using qualitative data obtained through semi-structured interviews of superintendents and supporting documents. Inquiry focused on finances, student services, district structure and human resources, and community investment. Data was evaluated via thematic content analysis with the intent that other districts seeking to remain independent can learn from their peers. Four common themes emerged: gains experienced due to open enrollment, community passing of levies and bond referendums, opportunities for collaboration to provide a competitive product, and efficiency in the use of financial and capital resources. The implication is that advantageous conditions supporting these themes can contribute to district independence and sustainability, though what works for one district may not for another.

Book Perceived Programmatic Changes and Academic Benefits Associated with School Consolidation in New York State

Download or read book Perceived Programmatic Changes and Academic Benefits Associated with School Consolidation in New York State written by Daniel M. Erceg and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School districts throughout the United States may be forced to consider school closures based on a variety of factors. New York State has struggled financially due to the Great Recession that began in December of 2007 (Alvi, 2017). In addition, New York State has seen a reduction of over 165,000 students since 2010 (New York State Education Department, n.d.-b). School consolidation continues to be a proposed solution to decreased enrollment, financial stress, poor academic outcomes, and infrastructure concerns (Green, 2013; Larsen, 2020; Steinberg & MacDonald, 2019). Existing research lacks specific information on whether schools are actively planning for programmatic changes to enhance the education of their students. The purpose of this comparative case study was to understand the perceived programmatic changes and academic benefits associated with school consolidation for urban-suburban, rural, and small city school districts in New York State through interviews with superintendents, building and district administrators, and board of education members involved with their district's transition. One-on-one interviews were conducted with eight participants in three districts who consolidated in the five years prior to the start of this study. The overall findings indicated student enrollment, financial stress, academic improvement, and resource efficacy were the primary factors driving consolidation in participating districts. Participants in one out of three districts identified the same primary justification for the district's consolidation. An analysis of interviews with eight district leaders indicated all three districts described actions embodying the first four steps in Kotter's (2012) eight-step process for leading change. The first four steps included: (a) establishing a sense of urgency, (b) creating a guiding coalition, (c) developing a vision and strategy, and (d) communicating the change vision. Participants verbalized their consolidation efforts were successful but were unable to articulate specific indicators to support their assertion. In the study, six out of eight participants described an increase in collaboration between staff and consistency in academic expectations, and five out of eight participants identified new opportunities for students. Finally, three out of eight participants identified unintentional benefits that resulted from the consolidation efforts such as additional programming, a greater sense of community, and an increased focus on social emotional learning. Several recommendations came from this research, beginning with the need for the New York State Education Department to create a definition of school consolidation and begin to track school consolidation in an effective and efficient manner. School districts may benefit from the creation of guiding coalitions to support future change efforts and to create a vision for the district. The guiding coalition could support communication efforts and establish indicators of success. Recommendations for future research are suggested.

Book Measuring Regional Authority

Download or read book Measuring Regional Authority written by Liesbet Hooghe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of five ambitious volumes theorizing the structure of governance above and below the central state. This book is written for those interested in the character, causes, and consequences of governance within the state and for social scientists who take measurement seriously. The book sets out a measure of regional authority for 81 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific from 1950 to 2010. Subnational authority is exercised by individual regions, and this measure is the first that takes individual regions as the unit of analysis. On the premise that transparency is a fundamental virtue in measurement, the authors chart a new path in laying out their theoretical, conceptual, and scoring decisions before the reader. The book also provides summaries of regional governance in 81 countries for scholars and students alike. Transformations in Governance is a major new academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states up to supranational institutions, down to subnational governments, and side-ways to public-private networks. It brings together work that significantly advances our understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars. The series targets mainly single-authored or co-authored work, but it is pluralistic in terms of disciplinary specialization, research design, method, and geographical scope. Case studies as well as comparative studies, historical as well as contemporary studies, and studies with a national, regional, or international focus are all central to its aims. Authors use qualitative, quantitative, formal modeling, or mixed methods. A trade mark of the books is that they combine scholarly rigour with readable prose and an attractive production style. The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the VU Amsterdam, and Walter Mattli of the University of Oxford.
