The study shows that schools using an administrative model of School-based Management can work toward the outcomes expected for School-based Management and the schools can be effective doing so. However, the schools in this study operate within a framework of school board and provincial priorities that correspond to the expected outcomes for School-based Management. So, I can't say that the schools would pursue those outcomes if left on their own. Also, it is apparent that the schools direct considerable effort to improving involvement, relationships with stakeholders, and communications with stakeholders. As the school restructuring literature points out, just changing the structure doesn't change the way the school is organized, the programs, the pedagogy, or the relationships among stakeholders. Therefore, jurisdictions moving toward School-based Management should have a clear set of objectives that the schools can work toward. Also, the jurisdiction should recognize that changing roles in a school requires support, both training and resources. In addition, the jurisdiction needs to recognize the Principal in a School-based Managed school is much more than an educational leader and should adjust position descriptions and qualifications for leadership accordingly. Finally, although the improvement in academic outcomes was modest, there was a high level of satisfaction with the school exhibited by all stakeholders. Therefore, I would recommend the administrative model of School-based Management, with the above caveats, to jurisdictions considering restructuring.
