Abstract
Change in school systems often withers from lack of administrative support. The intervention described led to the creation of a new management structure for a public school system, with different decision-making processes, greater administrator involvement, and increased commitment to the total system. On the basis of this consulting experience, a number of propositions for change agents have been formulated, which are applicable to and can be tested in other settings.Keywords
