The focus is the first phase of mayoral control (2003 until the fall of 2007). The book provides a unique opportunity to assess mayoral control of the largest public school system in the United States, and the results have ramifications for other large cities that have instituted mayoral control or are exploring the idea."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 107-113) and index Notes English Subject New York (N.Y.).
