This bibliography cites empirical studies completed between 1962 and early 1968

on governing boards of hnerican puolic school systems. Its aim is to list

investigations that offer bases for generalizable propositions regarding the local

school board's part in district policy formatian (A companion bibliography for

the pre-1952 period, originally prepared in 1954, has been slightly altereu and

re-iF:sued by the Center for the Advanced Study of Educational Administration.)

The bibliography covers research that would be indexed under "school boards,"

"school board members," and their various synonyms in such sources as Uissertation

Abstracts or Educational Index. In this respect, it follows the proceaure of the

earlier bibliography. A number of criteria were developed during the literature

search to exclude certain classes of material commonly encounterea that were

regarded as irrelevant to the bibliography's purpose. Not included were:

1. Purely discursive materials reporting no empirical research.

2. Studies of boards governing private schools, institutions of higner

education, state systems of education, or intermediate districts.

3. Reports of legally prescribed structure, functions, powers, and

responsibilities of school boards; excluded, too, were summaries of

statutes, court cases, and otherlegal constraints or powers under which

boards operate.

4. Surveys of school government in one or a few districts, unless they were

offered as cases upon which general propositions could be built.

5. Studies in which data were taken from school board members but where

a) the data were not designed to illuminate board operations, membership

orientations, or policy formulation, or b) the problems to which the data

were addressed were too narrow to permit generalization beyond the

immediate context in which the data were obtained.

6. Research reporzs that did not allude directly and centrally to scnool board

operations, problems, or membership.

While none of the exclusion criteria touched on the quality of the research, the

compiler acknowledges that references to well-conducted, dependable studies were

pursued more assiduously and have a higher probability of arpearing in the list than

research of marginal merit. Preference was given, also, to analytical studies

rather than descriptive surveys, although both appear in the bibliography.

As work on the bibliography began, the 204-entry, annotated "School Board

Bibliography" compiled by H. Thomas James and his associates in the School Board

Studies at Stanford University was published serially in tne American School board

Journal (April through July, 1968). It became an important source of material for

us. The present bibliography differs from the one of James and associates

principally in our concentration on empirical research and in our restricted dates

of coverage. Nearly one-third of our 223 entries also appear in the James

bibliography and are conveniently annotated there.

Colleagues across the country reviewed a preliminary draft of the bibliography

and made numerous suggestions of materials to include, but the compiler is

especially indebted to Dr. Jay D. Scribner who collaborated in the work of

preparation as a Visiting Research Associate in the Center for the Advanced Study

of Educational Administration during the summer of 1968. The ERIC Clearinghouse

on Educational Administration at tne University of Oregon both encouraged and

participated in the project from its inception to its conclusion. Acknowledgments

are due Audree Duncan who undertook the exacting task of preparing the edgn-punched

cards from which the entries were duplicated ahd Robert E. Longanecker and Mrs.

Catherine Porter of the CASEA library who located fugitive materials, completed

bibliographic citations, and performed many other vital services. General support

for the project was provided by the Center for the Advanced Study of Educational

Administration at the University of Oregon, a national research and developnent

center which was established under provisions of the Cooperative Research Program

of the United States Office of Education.
