Abstract

A new principal, Marty Pettigrew, has just joined this inner-city optional school--which offers special programs in international studies to attract children from all over the city. Entering mid-way through the school year, he observes a number of areas of concern, including declining student academic achievement. In December 2002, a week or so into his term, he has to determine a plan of action to lead a turnaround.
