Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the graduation rates of secondary schools in Indiana in 1989-90 and to compare those graduation rates to those of 199798, to see if those schools that adopted block scheduling had experienced a difference in graduation rates either positively or negatively. A comparison was also made of graduation rates between schools adopting block scheduling for at least three years and traditional schools during this same time period. Further examination was made to determine if any specific type of block schedule had improved graduation rates. The size school was a

Abstract:

Since public relations specialists began working in public school districts in the 1970s, only five percent of public school districts in Indiana have employed these specialists. The objective of the study was to identify factors that would explain why so few districts employ specialists. The study focused on the impact that employing a public relations specialist had on a district's overall public relations program as a means of explaining this lack of employment. The study tested the hypothesis that school districts with specialists would differ significantly from districts without specialis

Abstract:

This thesis has presented a comprehensive study on the abandonment of historic school buildings by the Indianapolis Public Schools system from 1970 to 1997. During this period, IPS closed or demolished sixty-four city schools representing nearly fifty-three percent of all Indianapolis public schools in 1970. The principal reason behind the facility closings was a dramatic decline in student enrollment beginning in 1967, but rapidly accelerating after 1970.Several factors contributed to this fall in public school rolls: lower birth rates, the unified government system (Unigov) that merged India
