| Abstract: | This study utilizes a stratified (on SES) sample of Detroit metropolitan elementary-school districts to examine political settings of principals. Altogether 18 principals were interviewed in 1981 and 1984. Twelve more were interviewed in the Lansing area in 1985. Upper income districts were found to have bureaucratic settings as did the lower income, even where their districts were poor or anomic. Principals in the latter viewed the central office more negatively than did the former. Middle income districts were more typically bargaining. Some schools in middle and upper income districts were impacted from the neighborhood especially when the latter was relatively poor. |
