Successful collaboration implies that participants become aware of these costs and develop ways to reframe them as assets. - Educational Administration Quarterly The comparative case studies allow the author to probe the emergent themes and patterns and to deal with alternative interpretations with a degree of sophistication not often found in the literature on efforts to engage elements of the school community in school district policymaking. - Betty Malen, coeditor of Balancing Local Control and State Responsibility for K-12 Education Findings from this book will inform practice in the field of school governance and leadership. - Kenneth Wong, author of City Choices: Education and Housing
