2.  This blog post by Elena Aguilar contains great information on possible sources of underlying conflict in schools.  Moreover, her blog contains ideas on how to address these issues constructively and work more effectively as a team.

3.  This is a blog post from the American Enterprise Institute by a former professor of mine, Mark Perry.  It contains some interesting information about the growth of administrative positions in our nation's public schools.  As an administrator,and as an employee of a system that is certainly top-heavy with administrators, I am almost reluctant to include this link, but I believe our administrative positions in SABIS serve very useful purposes and are an integral part of our academic success.
