The Restructure Of School Organization is one of the means of the educational reforms. To handle changed opportunities to create new ones, and to make the school administrative organization fill flexible mechanism is the missions and duties that the school administrative organization shoulder. The purpose of this research is to study the basic concept of the organization through the four links, ¡§ Business Organized Reform ¡¨, ¡§ Government Reform ¡¨, ¡§ The Restructure Of The School Administrative Organization.¡¨ The research also coordinate with a new related theory of the organization , educational prescripts, important plans of the educational reforms, and the analysis of related studies of the school administrative organization to explore the stratagem of the restructure of the junior high school administrative organization. And set up an organization to a new model to be able to effectively resolve the problems which the junior school administrative organization faces. The research takes the study way of Delphi Technique and invite 16 consultants such as the experts and the scholars in Kaohsiung, the educational administrators, the junior high school principles, the leaders or the chiefs of the departments, teachers, and parents of the students to implement questionary survey three times. Synthesize the results of the documents investigation and the survey in Delphi Technique. About the reform of the administrative organization in junior high school, the conclusions are as follows : ¢¹. The reform of the school administrative organization is the extension of the reform of the government organization. To adjust administrative organization and operative standard is on the basis of the policy of the allocation numbers in local government and the managing the sum of numbers in central government. ¢º. A school contains two systems, administration and teaching, which presents the structure of Loosely Coupled System. However, educators are not in favor of the policy which merges the school organization into the administration department and the teaching department. ¢». The emphasis of the school reform contains ¡§ School-Based Manage- ment ¡¨ and ¡§ Teaching Professional Sovereignty. ¡¨ In addition, the reform of organization have to go with ¡§ Operation System ¡¨ ,¡§ Job Allocation ¡¨, ¡§ Management Mechanism.¡¨ Thus, it can work. ¢¼. At present, teachers take two jobs, teaching and the duty of the administration, like the leader or the chief of the department at school. They have double identities of being teachers and the members of the administration. Besides supplying the teaching department with support, the school administration should shoulder the responsibility of being professional leader. ¢½. In order to achieve the goal of the organization, the administrative apartment needs to develop the force of the integration, and Full Matrix is the best policy that can develop the function of the integration. ¢¾. The hinge of the reforms of the school administrative organization lies in abolition, combination or job allocation among the groups of the departments. ¢¿. To reform organization structure has to simultaneously consider the privilege allocation of the school organization and the change of the administration policy. Promoting it needs to accept various opinions and search for mutual understanding. ¢À. While reforming organization, we have to consider the operation mechanism of educational reform that has been promoted universally, including nine-year coherence curriculum and the unity experiment of teaching, discipline, and guidance. According to the conclusion of this study, some suggestions are follows: ¢¹. Suggestions to the heads of education administration organizations 1. Central government and local government should promote actively the revision of the relevant laws, and give schools the right of organizations to come true the spirit of the organization reform. 2. Ministry Of Education should play a more active role to offer the resources of the expenditure and the men of talent, and ask schools to immerse the spirit of the organization reform in the unity experiment of teaching, discipline, and guidance project. 3. School organization reform includes not only the adjustment of the administrative organization but also the change of the administration leadership, power distribution, curriculum & teaching, and school efficiency. The government should give schools more power of the personal, budget, and curriculum on the decision to satisfy the conditions and demands of different sections. 4. Adjusting the duty scope of the school administration or culture and education administration instead we should adopt technicians according to the different affairs, such as the engineer in the computer system, and professional shopping staffs. ¢». Suggestion to the school 1. ¡§ Community School ¡¨ becomes a developing trend , uniting community resources has already become the main business of the school administration. Besides, it also puts emphasis on regulation administration organization, adjusting the roles of the parents, teachers and students, and counting in the opinions the parents, students and the members of the community. 2. While a school is in the process of its organization reform, it should break through the organization of the teaching, discipline, affairs, and guidance. It replaces traditional administrative levels and the individual operation system with the teamwork. 3. When school is going to compose groups, it should consider professional knowledge, individual will, characters, individual job ( like academic specialists, administration ), and so on. It should compose a common teamwork, and put emphasis on strengthening self-determinant teamwork. Whether the school use teamwork organization depends on the administration affairs. 4. Technology and information have great influence on the operation of the administrative organizations. We have to reduce the administrative affairs and the members of the organizations to make the school administrative organizations will work effectively. 5. Through the redesigning and simplified procedure of the organizations work, we will make the administration affairs specialized and professional. The administration affairs excluding the core of the affairs ( teaching ) adopt the contractual way.
