At no time in the history of public education has there been such a dramatic discrepancy between accelerated standards and expectations and adequate funding for our schools. Much has been written about how to achieve new expectations in the realm of student achievement and the need for accountability and the restructuring of how education dollars are spent. Unfortunately, most of the input regarding the need for "belt-tightening" is unaccompanied by tangible solutions or suggestions and results only in hollow rhetoric or convenient political sound bytes. This journey into meaningful avenues for cost-savings in public education is clearly an exception. Any school official who reads this book will find a number of viable possibilities for saving money. The authors offer time-tested, practical ideas, which are proven to work. Features cost-saving tips for: * District and school-level administration * Curriculum, instruction, vocational and special education, student services, and media * Building and grounds, maintenance, pupil transportation, and food services * Community colleges The authors briefly review the literature for: * Managing decline in resources and discuss the problem of declining funds for schools and solution strategies * Generating alternative revenue sources in education Samples of strategic plans are also included. For educational administrators, state governors and senators, school boards, and school business officials.
Bigger Isn't Always Better is designed to provide a practitioner's viewpoint of the challenges and issues facing school administrators - particularly those who work in small districts. Based upon a combination of education theory and practical applications, the book contains many real life examples with tips for landing a job as administrator and then making a positive and successful first impression through a deliberate entry plan. Bigger Isn't Always Better addresses both the technical aspects of an administrator's assignment, as well as the administrator's leading, mediating role while working with the school board, with school staff, or the school's community. Readers will learn about a variety of potential pitfalls and situations that most new administrators face, with the benefit of learning how to over come and avoid such problems based on the author's four decades in the profession.
