Book excerpt: School district reorganization has been an ongoing process in New York state as well as many other states for more than a century. Since 2007 two New York State Commissioners have made recommendations regarding the further consolidation of school districts to provide relief for taxpayers as well as greater efficiency. Given the economic climate as well as the call for schools to consolidate, school superintendents and boards of education may need to consider the options of school district merger or annexation to address these issues as they lead their districts through these difficult times. This study explored the system level leadership issues associated with leading and managing in a time of scarce resources. With reorganization as an option available to school districts in New York state and using Kotter's eight steps for long-term change as a lens, a qualitative analysis was conducted focusing on three reorganizational efforts that occurred in New York state during the past ten years. Methods of inquiry included interviews of superintendents and members of the board of education. Public documents were also studied to gain greater understanding of the reorganization effort in each of the selected districts. The data collected were useful in determining the extent to which the leadership role of the superintendent affects these reorganization efforts. The three reorganization efforts selected for this research were significant as each was unique and different. In each case, the size of the districts fit a pattern of one small district with an enrollment of between 200 and 500 students paired with a larger district with an enrollment from 800 to 1000 students. All the districts researched were in rural New York State. Two of the efforts were annexations and the third was a proposed merger. The leadership roles of the superintendent and boards of education were important throughout the process. At least one of the superintendents in each of the these studies played a pivotal role before, during, and after the reorganization. One of the findings focuses on the role of students in this process. In two of the efforts, students were instrumental in helping the district through the period of transition. System leaders in these districts worked with the students to pick new school colors and mascots. The effort was a unifying factor for the students of the two districts. The findings of this study are instructive for system leaders in school districts facing the issue of scarce resources. If school district leaders choose reorganization as an option to address these issues, then these leaders should consider using Kotter's change model as a framework for achieving this process. Merging two different school districts is one of the most significant changes that any district and community will encounter.

Book Synopsis Effective School District Leadership by : Kenneth Leithwood
Download or read book Effective School District Leadership written by Kenneth Leithwood and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1995-02-16 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School districts in both Canada and the United States provide the sites for this research. Many of these districts were in the midst of reform or restructuring initiatives and these initiatives became an important context within which to understand the work of district leaders. The authors describe how effective superintendents work with their immediate staffs, elected trustees, and school-based administrators. Each chapter examines the meaning of effective district leadership from different perspectives. Common to almost all of the chapters is an appreciation of the exquisitely "political" nature of the superintendent's work. Contributors to the volume include Edward A. Holdaway and Anthony Genge; Derek J. Allison, Patricia A. Allison, and Helen A. McHenry; Kenneth Leithwood and Roseanne Steinbach; Frances Wills and Kent Peterson; Joseph Murphy; Richard G. Townsend; Donald Musella; Mark Holmes; Stephen B. Lawton, Joyce Scane, and Shihui Wang; and Kenneth Leithwood.

Book Synopsis School District Leadership Matters by : Bruce Sheppard
Download or read book School District Leadership Matters written by Bruce Sheppard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-08 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School District Leadership Matters challenges policy makers, administrators, and academics in the field of educational leadership to reassess their traditional approaches to learning, working, and planning. The authors believe that government restructuring, standards-based reforms, and centrally imposed strategic planning have been painfully ineffective. As a consequence, student learning has become increasingly superficial and inauthentic. This book bridges the traditional divide between the generalizations of social science theory on the one hand and the world of educational practice on the other. It argues that a more promising approach to education reform is through effective school district leadership. Sheppard, Brown and Dibbon draw on their collective experience both as educational leaders and researchers of leadership, having spent five years researching and working in one school district. Here, they show how a district superintendent can successfully navigate the paradoxes and challenges of facilitating collaborative leadership in a school district with a traditionally hierarchical organizational structure. As a conclusion to their work, the authors highlight what they call five ‘recognitions’ that deepen readers’ understanding of school district leadership. They illuminate, too, ways that senior level practitioners can apply theory to practice in order to break down the traditional hierarchical bureaucracies that inhibit learning, and create professional learning communities. School District Leadership Matters urges researchers, graduate students, practitioners, and policymakers to focus on improving authentic learning for all students and argues that the best hope rests with effective school district leadership. This empirically-based yet practical book provides new insights and questions for academic researchers and will inspire policy makers and practitioners to imagine what could be and to work towards it.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School district reorganization is a phenomenon that communities and boards of education have been forced to consider many times throughout the history of public education in New York State and across the nation. The current state aid formula employed by New York State todistribute education aid to school districts disadvantages the neediest school districts in the state, leaving those communities without the necessary resources to prepare students for college and careers in the 21st century (Timbs, 2013). Coupled with the fact that many school districts across the state have tapped into their available reserves, many school districts are on the vergeof financial and educational insolvency (The Council of State Superintendents, 2012). Participants in this study were comprised of five New YorkState school district leadership teams consisting of a superintendent, business official, and a board member that experienced failed school district reorganization efforts during the calendar year 2012. This study addressed what the effects of choosing not to reorganize have been, and what the future holds for those districts. This qualitative research has the potential to inform the field in terms of the decisions that school districts are making as a result of failed efforts, as well as the potentialto influence state policy and law makers to generate alternatives to what current law. Findings showed that school districts facing declining enrollment, dwindling resources, and diminishing resources in New York State have little choice but to consider school district reorganization as a viable alternative under current law. As a result of the findings, it is recommended that New York State statutes and regulations regarding school district reorganization be overhauled to reflect the demographic and economic realities of the 21st century in New York State and to promote equity for all students in the state.

Download or read book The Challenges of School District Leadership written by Daniel L. Duke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the rising interest in school districts, there are relatively few comprehensive resources available for graduate students in educational leadership programs. The Challenges of School District Leadership takes the position that the best way to prepare the next generation of school district leaders is to make certain that they are prepared to address the unending challenges that characterize public education today. Drawing on the latest research as well as actual examples, the book spotlights ten of the perennial challenges facing superintendents and school boards. Among the challenges discussed in detail are balancing equity and excellence, accommodating demographic change, coping with the increasing politicization of district leadership, deciding how to organize (or reorganize) a school system, and meeting the demands of educational accountability. This text is appropriate for graduate students in educational leadership, education policy, and the politics of education as well as school district leaders.
