Abstract | Decentralized control of New York City elementary and junior high schools was instituted in 1969. Subsequent financial crises in the city transferred governance functions from school officials to the Emergency Financial Control Board. A comparison of school board members in poor city districts, middle-class city districts, and suburban districts in the New York area was made to see if local board members had evolved into education advocates with city and state officials. Data were gathered from school board members and state legislators from 12 city and 12 suburban districts in the New York area. Respondents were each asked five questions about communications between school board members and political figures. Analysis of the data showed that school board members in suburban districts had more frequent contact with legislators than board members from city districts, and that board members in the poorest districts were least likely to engage in advocacy activities.
