Summary:"David Rogers presents an analysis of the political and organizational dynamics of Mayor Bloomberg's and Chancellor Klein's new mode of governance for the New York City public school system and of how their management style has shaped its design and implementation. The focus is the first phase of mayoral control (2003 until the fall of 2007). The book provides a unique opportunity to assess mayoral control of the largest public school system in the United States, and the results have ramifications for other large cities that have instituted mayoral control or are exploring the idea." --Book Jacket.
