Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
This study explored four school leaders in a small, rural school district in a case study during the Great Recession of 2007-09. The exploratory study was based on their experiences and actions throughout the financial crisis. Many of the changes they created restructured their individual situations. The result of the recession provided a wide range of institutional changes for all of the school leaders. The study was based on semi-structured interviews, detailed observations, and carefully reviewed documents. The data were analyzed in response to two research questions: “What was the financial and leadership role for the school leaders of the small, rural school district during the Great Recession?”, and “What financial and operational changes made within the small, rural school district would be retained as the New Normal after the Great Recession waned?”
