the flow of power and resources

Power and resources flow from the public to the board, from the board to the administration, and from the administration to the educational interface; the place where the student and the service meet face to face.

In a model where there is no administrative accountability; the eventual result is that each layer of administration will gorge itself at the flow of power and resources.

By the time the river reaches the classroom it has diminished to a trickle.

In a model with accountability, each layer of administration consumes as little power and resources as necessary to do their job, and to protect the power and resources from waste; corruption, incompetence, and the practices that enable them.

Leaving a river of power and resources to nourish
the delta at the educational interface.
