Summary:
In 1967, the commissioner of education initiated a study of decentralization plans by the director of the Center on Innovation in Education. These files resulted from that study and from the Board of Regents' review of the New York City Board of Education's plan for decentralization, proposed in 1969. The files include memoranda, reports, notes of meetings, and press releases concerning the development of a decentralization policy by the Regents and commissioner.
