Abstract	The first phase of a monitoring project to evaluate the implementation of the Chicago Reform Act, with a focus on the process of securing school participation in the study, is described in this report. Twelve schools out of a random stratified sample of 16 schools agreed to participate in the study, which was to consist of interviews and classroom observation. The high degree of time and involvement required in the school recruiting stage was found to be consistent with the gradual nature of restructuring efforts. The principal was identified as crucial in securing local council approval. Awareness of the influential roles played by principals, local school council chairs, and teachers; council member characteristics; and the decision-making styles of different councils is suggested for improving the recruitment process.
