The purpose of this paper is to propose the "management team"--in which the entire administrative staff influences policy making--as the means for administering Ohio's public schools. Included in the paper are a statement of the problem, underlying propositions, some general principles, recommendations for action, necessary commitments, and expected benefits. A self-evaluation scale designed to help a school district determine the degree to which its present management operation approximates the management team model is included as an appendix. (MCG)
