Title: Fighting to Save Our Urban Schools...and Winning!
Description: "Don McAdams, one of a small group of activists elected to the Houston Independent School District Board of Education in 1989, provides a fast moving first-person account of successful reform in the nation's seventh largest school district. With tact and wisdom, the author shows that school reform is seldom about reading, writing, and arithmetic. Rather, it is mostly about power, status, and money. No one interested in politics, governance, and management of urban school districts can afford to miss Fighting to Save Our Urban Schools ... and Winning!"--Jacket.
