Global changes in economic systems have put new demands on education as governments are endeavouring to maintain and improve services with reduced capital. The burden for health, welfare and education is increasingly being shifted towards the communities they service and the rate at which this shift can be made has accelerated with the growth of infonnation technology. In Australia, government education policies are moving towards self management in schools. While an educationally sound case for self management and greater school autonomy has been argued widely (Caldwell and Spinks, 1988, passim), the rate at which self management is being introduced is strongly economically driven. The changes that are taking place are demanding greater parent and community support in schools.
