Governance and Systems Level Change in Catholic Schools

Catholic schools in the U.S. are going through a period of crisis and transformation. Many people are reconsidering the ways that Catholic elementary schools are organized or governed. There have been serious questions raised in the field about the effectiveness of the parish-based model that has traditionally been employed to govern local Catholic elementary schools. This study is designed to investigate how systems level educational change works within the Catholic sector, using governance as a primary lens for our organizational analyses.
