The Decentralization Process of School Systems: A Review of the Literature

Wissler, Dorothy F.; Ortiz, Flora Ida

Urban Education, v21 n3 p280-94 Oct 1986

The literature on decentralization focuses on exchange of power and school reform. Rather than uncovering details of organizational processes, researchers attempted to impose inappropriate models upon them. Unable to explain how decentralization happens, they judged the process unsuccessful. Decentralization remains to be studied and understood. (LHW)
