We are particularly concerned with the local dimensions: the number and sizes of districts, the size and composition of school boards, and the methods by which either or both can be changed. We also consider the implications of this structure for the ability of school districts to provide an adequate education to all their pupils and to do so in a flexible but accountable manner that reflects and respects the different needs, backgrounds, challenges and opportunities of their student populations.application/pdfDocumentCopyright status determined to be in the public domain on April 27, 2020 by United States Supreme Court ruling (Georgia et al., Petitioners v.
