Excerpt:
"In spring 1981, we asked principals in rural Alaska to describe local school operations for their perspective. the purpose was to collect information about local schooling, as part of a three-year study of 'Decentralized Education in Rural Alaska,' funded by the National Institute of Education. Principals were the first respondents, because they were most likely to possess information on a wide range of topics and issues. Also, the perceptions of principals about the context in which schooling occurs seemed to be an important key to the environment of rural education."
