Thanks, Alan.  Advocacy for school based management also includes more accountability at the school level.  Even the legislators are accountable for what support they provide and don't provide to improve schools.  Taxpayers that vote/don't vote are also accountable for passively electing the same legislators, and expecting Improved schools.

Desire to have less top-down management and more say is a request for more leadership and accountability at the school level.  Multiple levels of accountability require an appropriate quality management plan and the public unions must be willing to step-up with their members to improve public education.  It is not just on the Superintendent  and the Board of Education.
