Katrina Bulkley is an associate professor of educational leadership at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Bulkley holds an MA in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a PhD in administration and policy analysis from the Stanford University School of Education. She is the coeditor, with Priscilla Wohlstetter, of Taking Account of Charter Schools: What's Happened and What's Next? (Teachers College Press, 2004) and, with Lance Fusarelli, of "The Politics of Privatization in Education: The 2007 Yearbook of the Politics of Education Association," which was published as a special double issue of Educational Policy.
Between Public and Private examines an innovative approach to school district management that has been adopted by a number of urban districts in recent years: a portfolio management model, in which "a central office oversees a portfolio of schools offering diverse organizational and curricular themes, including traditional public schools, private organizations, and charter schools." This volume examines crucial issues related to portfolio management, gauges both the promise and potential pitfalls of the model, considers important contexts for assessing these ambitious efforts to reform district management, and offers in-depth cases of four urban districts--Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and New Orleans--that have pioneered this new model.
