Effective communication at the school level should be between teachers. parents. students and principals. Most teachers are happy with the access to parents and students. Increasing the involvement of trustees. boards of education, and federation representatives at the school level would serve no useful purpose. In com versations with many teachers. I haven't heard of any "wedge" or block; real or imagined. that discour- --_--_--_--T ages communication. Perhaps such a review will determine the present model is working fine. However. it may also indi- cate the present system is inadequate and change is necessary The authority of hoards has been significantly reduced. They now play a relatively small role in the delivery of education and education policy.
