Decentralized by Default

Coming from a very small school the issue of decentralization is really a moot point for me. With only one school, site-based management is a given, and as the only social studies teacher in the middle school I don't have to worry about pacing or department heads. However hearing the discussion from the larger districts made me think about many issues that a building principal would have to manage in a larger districts to ensure students received a similar education.
