Switching School Board Function to a Futuristic Orientation.

Coleman, Don; Lawrence, John

Rural Educator, v6 n1 p1-2 Fall 1984

Suggests school boards separate from day-to-day administrative operations, concentrate on futuristic five-year plans, and work with a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) in subgroups to study all areas of responsibility in order to respond to rising median population age and emerging high-tech society. Would provide optimum accountability and improved preparedness. (CN)
