Decentralization and School Council Empowerment in Kentucky: Implications for Community Relations.
Bjork, Lars G.; Keedy, John L.
Journal of School Public Relations, v23 n1 p30-44 Win 2002
Describes school councils in Kentucky as illustrative of decentralization and empowerment; notes the largely disappointing results on teacher job attraction to council positions and on teacher and parent empowerment. Concludes that the teacher-parent-student relationship for poor families, precisely those targeted by the Kentucky reform cycle, is problematic. (Contains 48 references.) (Authors/PKP)
