Abstract

Twelve months of board sessions from a large school system in North Carolina, which has a highly turbulent political past, are analyzed. Governance has become more centralized following Race to the Top funding, challenging local control over workforce decisions and market. The board becomes galvanized in efforts to protect and maintain its teaching force by exercising its political power and making public appeals. The board frames the problem in the following ways: Personal, Economic, Social Welfare, and Community Pride/Advancement.
