This study examined the impact of state takeover of school districts on the academic program at individual schools. The study attempted to gauge the effect of the takeover on the role of the principal as instructional leader. A further purpose was to determine if the intent and implementation of the state takeover plan differed from research on effective schools.

520 $a This study examined the impact of state takeover of school districts on the academic program at individual schools. The study attempted to gauge the effect of the takeover on the role of the principal as instructional leader. A further purpose was to determine if the intent and implementation of the state takeover plan differed from research on effective schools.
520 $a A case study approach was used to focus on three school districts in California that were taken over by the state between 1993 and 2004. Data was collected through 23 interviews at the state, state administrator and principal levels, providing a vertical view of the takeovers, from intent of the plan, through implementation, to impact at the school level. Additional data was collected from student achievement data, legislation, state administrator documents, and reports of the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team.
520 $a At the school level, the study found that the principal is regarded by state administrators as a key part of the reform effort, and that steps were taken to increase their capacity as instructional leaders. Principals were found to have increased levels of accountability placed on them as a result of the takeover. Improvements in the instructional program at the school level included aligning curriculum, instruction and assessment, and intensive professional development.
520 $a At the district level, the study found that takeover districts demonstrated common elements prior to takeover, including poor management systems, poor oversight by the elected school boards, and poor executive leadership.
520 $a At the state level, the study found that the state built expertise in effectively implementing takeovers, but that despite this increase, the state does not have the capacity to deal with the large number of districts that might fail due to No Child Left Behind accountability sanctions.
520 $a The study suggests that the state should approach takeovers as multiphased efforts, which differentiates between fiscal recovery, implementation of sound operating systems, and academic reform. The current strategy addresses all three simultaneously, which can prolong and complicate the effort.
520 $a The study also suggests that it is important to include principals as decision makers early in the takeover process.
