The research reported in this article sought to determine the effects of the existence of Catholic schools upon the operation of public schools, as perceived by public school superintendents and principals in "medium-sized" U. S. cities. Twenty-three such effects are identified and perceptions of them are related to one another and to selected personal and situational variables. A major conclusion reached is that public school administrators tend to be neither familiar with nor in terested in Catholic schools, and the implications of this observation for policy, research, and training are examined. The author is Associate Director, University Council for Educational Administration and As sistant Professor, Ohio State University. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
