Written to help school board members, administrators, parents, and other community residents involved in the privatization debate, this volume maintains a useful balance of scholarship and craft. It provides both theory and practice, presenting practical information to guide those who must deal with policy and procedural issues related to privatizing one or more school district functions.
Flam and Keane have broken new ground. They offer experience, insight, and guidance in one of the fastest moving and most challenging opportunities for public education—contracting for administrative and instructional services. * The Education Industry Report *
