Hi Carl. I'm in Central New York. Site Based teams are in full swing here. 
Any state that applied for Federal funds for education is using site-based 
management as a stipulation for qualifying for those funds under Goals 2000. 
I was a part of a site-based team but I gave it up. All of the truly 
important decisions such as curriculum content, teaching methods & the like 
are still made on the State level as it trickles down from the Federal Dept. 
of Education. I felt that it was more of a bone being thrown to parents to 
make them feel like they are part of the decision making process. The reality 
is different. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents!
