Abstract
This paper considers the problems of developing a policy formation process to cope with the issues created by declining school enrolments, principally those relating to conflict and ambiguity. The paper is based on an analysis of a particular case study of an US school district from which tentative conclusions are derived regarding the political dynamics of policy generation; stages in policy formation; and leadership styles appropriate to contraction.
