Case studies allow us to review a scenario or situation that actually occurred and analyze both the problems faced by executives/leaders of the school system and potential solutions. There will be more than one right answer, although some will be “more right” than others. Please be sure to cite/reference all sources used in your analysis. §  Abstract/Case Background.  describe the case facts and background.
