Opis

Analyzes the trend toward mayoral control of urban schools, using Chicago and Cleveland as case studies. The author shows that although both cities have experienced noteworthy improvements in student performance since mayoral control, the increased centralization of decision-making has reduced minority participation in democratic politics.
