Abstract	This is a resource book on cutback management in public schools. It catalogs over 30 practices, provides policy models from 27 school districts in 17 states, and summarizes a decade of advice about decline management in light of recent research evidence on what works and what doesn't work in managing the politics of retrenchment. Its highlights include (1) syntheses of the research evidence on conflict management, on the political, neighborhood, curricular, and fiscal impacts of school closure, on the impact of declining enrollments on the school program, and on equity initiatives; (2) a coalition rather than consensus building model of conflict management and its implications for developing policies for community involvement; (3) two field-tested fiscal analysis procedures that clarify the cost and revenue implications of changes in enrollments and services; (4) procedures for documenting the impact of enrollment decline on curricular offerings at the high school level; and (5) a checklist for developing policies incorporating performance criteria into reduction-in-force policies.
