Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City Superintendent and the Board of Education The problem of this study is to discover how lay boards of education provide for the administration of city school systems through professional chief executives. The study is concerned with an analysis of the practices of boards of education in cities of various sizes, together with an attempt to evaluate such practices. It is an attempt to discover what functions boards of education themselves perform, as a body or through their committees, what functions are delegated to executives, and how these functions are delegated. Questions which the study seeks to answer in part at least are: What are the duties that lay boards perform? What is the nature of matters receiving the attention of boards? What kind of data do they require as a basis for determining school policies? What functions are delegated to committees? What functions are delegated to executive officers? What is the form of administrative organization provided? To what extent do boards recognize professional leadership in administrative matters and in initiating school policies? Constructively the study seeks to discover the duties that are important for a lay board to perform as opposed to those that are trivial or that are professional and administrative. It seeks to discover those functions that should be delegated to the professional chief executive and his assistants and the scope of authority that should be given them. And, finally it seeks to discover how, with such functions delegated to professional executive officers, a lay board may exercise efficient control of the responsibilities imposed upon them by the state. 2. Criteria An effort will be made in this study to use objective measures as far as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
