Today, administrators must assume a different mindset if public
schools are to remain viable and functional. Changing populations
resulting in heterogeneous communities, diversity of community
values, and finite resources meeting the infinite desires of a
demanding constituency have created the necessity for political
acumen on the part of local educational leaders. The primary reason
for the upheaval occurring in schools today is not that the
instructional element is being neglected, but that the
building-level administrators have a woeful lack of proficiency in
managing the politics that impact schools. This book gives
administrators a better grasp of educational politics at the campus
level as the school interacts with the community in which it is
embedded. Through theory, application, and personal reflection, The
Impact of Politics in Local Education will show administrators how
to 'read' the political climate of a community, how to make meaning
from the information, and how to proactively manage political
issues so that a stable school environment can be maintained.
