Abstract
Purpose: The study is focused on the question of how principals in Swiss
compulsory schools evaluate civic and parental participation in education
governance. Public management reforms in Switzerland have led to
the implementation of semiautonomous school administration and the
encouragement of professional leadership. Thus, the traditional role of school
boards has come under scrutiny. Research Methods/Approach: Using the
theoretical framework of actor-centered institutionalism, the study compares
patterns of education policies in Swiss cantons and analyzes data of a principals’
survey by structural equation modelling. Findings: The views of principals
concerning lay participation in school governance reveal a multifaceted picture.
Principals affirm lay participation on the levels of the right to be informed, the
right to be heard, and the right to volunteer; they regard with skepticism
the authority of lay participants to make decisions. Implications for
Research and Practice: Principals tend to insist on professional discretion
and opt against the blurring of boundaries between schools and their social
environment. This implies the self-justification of professional leadership. That
such self-justification does not derive from a neutral perspective, but is an
expression of stakeholder interests, has to be taken into account.
