This book presents, in 11 chapters, a comprehensive look at the school superintendent that will be welcomed in the fields of education management and policy. Many different perspectives are represented: studying the school manager (Glass, Kowalski and Glasman), minorities in the profession (Ortiz and Brunner), and the radical decentralization of the British school system under Thatch and Major (Campell, Powell and Parker). Legal positions and collective bargaining are also discussed to great effect. Professors, public school educators, and policymakers should all find this book useful due to the critical nature of the superintendency.

Cooper and Fusarelli (both of the Department of Policy and Urban Education, Fordham, U.) offer 11 contributions examining the role of the American public school superintendent in relation to different facets of leadership. Grouped into four categories, the papers look at the human resources needs of finding and preparing superintendents, the relationship of the superintendency to stakeholders such as the unionized teacher and the local boards of education, the policymaking role of the superintendent, and the role of the superintendent in the wider context of public schooling as a whole.
