Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book examines the political dynamics of the governance overhaul and how the management styles of Mayor Bloomberg and School Chancellor Klein affect its design and implementation in the Mayor's first term. The trend toward mayoral governance is happening in other large cities, stimulated in part by business leaders, mayors, and states concerned about how the schools contribute to declining global competitiveness and chronic social and economic problems of inner cities.
