School administration is more difficult today than at any time in
our history. Whether addressing the needs of students, parents or
staff at the building level, or facing the questions posed by the
board of education, the media or the general public at the district
level, administrators face constant calls for accountability.
Demands for administrative accountability have steadily increased
since the publication of A Nation at Risk in 1983. The most recent
trend has been to tie administrative evaluations to student
performance, increasing stress among administrators at all levels.
The cumulative effect of three decades of challenges to
administrative authority has undermined the publics view of
educational administrators as experts. The author examines the
current state of public education, including the influence of
private individuals and foundations, and alternative approaches to
the educational delivery model and then highlights successful
examples of public education. He concludes by considering input of
current administrators and school board members and presents a
strategy which educational administrators can employ to win back
public confidence and support.
