This newsletter summarizes a research project in Sweden aimed at studying the participation of school personnel in the school planning process. The project involved following the planning of three schools in Sodertalje where the personnel had been given the opportunity to participate. Project data were collected by attending planning meetings; studying minutes, reports, and drawings; interviewing people; and talking to the personnel at the various schools. The newsletter discusses the obstacles to genuine personnel participation and concludes with a number of proposed changes aimed at improving opportunities for personnel and pupils to take part in planning.
