Local School Board Decision-Making: A Political-Anthropological Analysis.

Lutz, Frank W.

Education and Urban Society, v12 n4 p452-65 Aug 1980

Focuses on school boards as sociocultural systems. Asserts that boards' decision-making processes operate within a cultural context and have, over the centuries of their existence, developed a culture of their own. Proposes that culture dictates a decision-making output that is not as responsive or immediate as would be expected. (Author/MK)
