A survey addressing the fairness of the Cincinnati (Ohio) |
|
Design for School Excellence (DSE) Merit Schools program |
|
was administered to school principals in March, 1986. The |
|
questionnaire was developed by a representative committee |
|
of elementary and secondary principals and central office |
|
personnel not directly involved in the original |
|
development of the DSE. The survey was reviewed, |
|
modified, and approved by the Cincinnati Association of |
|
Administrators and Supervisors (CAAS) Executive |
|
Committee. Forty-eight principals or 60% responded. |
|
Principals were asked to rank on a four point scale their |
|
perception of fairness of the 11 DSE indicators. Results |
|
showed a need for steps to be taken to adjust and clarify |
|
the program to increase its acceptance. Particular |
|
problems and concerns about the DSE were expressed in |
|
four major areas: (1) some schools have more advantages; |
|
(2) merit variables based on attitude surveys have |
|
limited validity; (3) attendance problems do not affect |
|
schools equally; and (4) student mobility and entry level |
|
aptitude affect schools unevenly. Since the DSE was |
|
strongly supported by the Board of Education and top |
|
central administrators, CAAS made 10 recommendations for |
|
improvement; their status is summarized. (Selected |
|
questionnaire responses are also appended.) (KSA) |
