Mayoral takeovers of big-city public education systems are extreme measures that usually reflect an attempt to reverse the decline in quality in metropolitan educational systems. This text is a practical guide for mayors, civic leaders, school board members and involved citizens. It provides guidance on how to formulate a plan-of-action for education reform and how to deal with political opposition to change.
