Abstract	From January through March 1988, 31 teachers and administrators from the Capital Region (Albany, New York) met with professors from the State University of New York at Albany in five full-day sessions to discuss education in New York State in the 1990's and to write a report on the results of their deliberations, including observations and recommendations related to topics selected for discussion. This report consists of four essays that reflect the thinking of teachers and administrators at the time of the discussions. In the first essay, seminar participants view the school in a social context and grapple with the problems of role and responsibility. Participants were concerned about the duality of roles: protecting the academic mission and serving the social needs of students. The second essay confronts "head-on" the disjuncture between what students are taught and what they come to discover about the world. A detailed design is presented for an innovative school to meet the needs of the learner in the 1990's. The third essay addresses the issues involved in restructuring for that "ideal" school: empowerment, defining a mission, organizational structure, and allowing both students and teachers to reach their potential. The final essay returns to a socially contextual topic: the balance between local control and maintaining state standards of excellence. (TE)
