The purpose of this study is to determine sound principles for the administration of the school plant. Attention is given to the democratic, legal, psychological, and prudential principles underlying sound policies for the administration of the school plant, and to recommend practices and procedures for achieving these principles.

The purpose of the study was to identify procedures for successful school closure as utilized by school corporations with prior histories of school closings.An interview guide was developed to identify school closure procedures utilized by participant school corporations and to assess the contribution of such procedures to successful school closure. The superintendents of participating school corporations responded to the interview guide. Three Indiana school corporations participated in the study.Communities and school corporations of various sizes experienced common school closure problems. School closure was an emotionally laden, intensely human problem. School closure necessitated intricate knowledge of the community and carefully planned public relations. Parent, staff, and community stress was apparent throughout school closure. Elementary student adjustment following school closure was generally rapid and uneventful.The need for school closure was a result of declining student enrollment and increased per-pupil costs for education. School closure did not provide an immediate source of money. Superintendents reported the savings precipitated by school closure were long-term instead of immediate financial savings.A sequence of twenty procedures for successful school closure was established. The procedures included pre-closure and post-closure strategies as well as actual closure procedures. The sequence of twenty procedures included: enrollment projections, determining the need to close schools, determining which school buildings should be closed, community involvement and adjustment, staff involvement and adjustment, parent involvement and adjustment, student involvement and adjustment, building disposition, and utilization of the media.

This paper has been written primarily to emphasize the need of some pattern in school building and planning. The principles and practices herein contained are not complete in all aspects. Many of the specifications have been accepted by authorities specializing in this field. The county in which the writer is employed is about to embark upon a building program. It becomes a most opportune time to carry on a study concerned with the planning and construction of a practical building. Familiarization with accepted practices might well influence thinking of all concerned. To include community participation would establish a closer tie between two groups so dependent upon each other. / "June, 1953." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: H.

A tese propõe uma interpretação do Plano Educacional de Brasília por meio do cruzamento de leituras sobre três de seus aspectos. Apropriações das ideias em circulação sobre educação e cidade, o urbanismo de seu Plano Piloto e a tipologia de seu lugar escola em relação a práticas cotidianas de sua implementação são tópicos desde os quais uma miríade de personagens, propostas, conceitos e significações foi mobilizada para tratar das dimensões educativas do projeto de urbanidade concebido para a nova capital. A obra de Anísio Teixeira alinhava a interpretação proposta, funcionando como norte e recorte para o conjunto de circunstâncias entendidas como precedentes fundamentais da formulação deste projeto educativo. Sua trajetória, no entanto, é pensada como oportunidade especial de enfrentamento das relações, trocas e dissonâncias entre os campos da educação e da arquitetura e urbanismo, seja em âmbito nacional, seja internacionalmente considerados. Nos limites de uma leitura interdisciplinar entre arquitetura, urbanismo e educação, a tese formula uma narrativa sobre a produção do espaço escolar no contexto de modernidade que construiu Brasília. / The thesis proposes an interpretation of the Educational Plan of Brasilia through the crossing of readings on three of its aspects. Appropriations of circulating ideas about education and city, the urbanism of its Pilot Plan, and the typology of its school place in relation to the daily practices of its implementation are topics from which a myriad of characters, proposals, concepts and meanings have been mobilized to treat of the educational dimensions of the urbanity project designed for the new capital. The work of Anísio Teixeira aligned the proposed interpretation, functioning as a north and a cut for the set of circumstances understood as fundamental precedents of the formulation of this educational project. Its trajectory, however, is thought of as a special opportunity to confront relations, exchanges and dissonances between the fields of education and architecture and urbanism, both nationally and internationally. Within the limits of an interdisciplinary reading between architecture, urbanism and education, the thesis formulates a narrative about the production of the school space in the context of modernity that built Brasilia.
