Review

Kelley Carey has developed a very useful teaching guide as a companion to his book School District Master Planning: The Teaching Supplement. The book itself provides a number of case studies that can lead to lively classroom discussions to assist graduate students in gaining the knowledge and skills needed to understand and apply educational facility planning. The supplement restates each case and provides the instructor with additional information and suggested answers to the questions that follow them. In addition, the supplement provides information on useful websites and factors to consider in planning an individual school building. -- Leonard H.

Review Quote

The title of Kelley Carey's book is apt, both because of its author and the handling of the subject matter. Kelley has been a contributor to American School Board Journal for many years, and the response his articles receive speak for themselves. This book, which is the culmination of his 40 years experience as a planner, showcases the work of a master at his profession. Using actual case discussions and featuring many checklists, it provides solid, down-to-earth advice on what can be an extremely complicated issue for school board members and administrators.
