Bushweller, Kevin
American School Board Journal, v184 n9 p20-25 Sep 1997

Substandard school performance can cause Texas principals to lose their jobs and Maryland schools to forfeit substantial monetary rewards. Indianapolis schools try to balance innovation and accountability. A sidebar shows how test scores can be manipulated. (MLH)
