Abstract	Recently there has been a resurgence in demand for citizen participation in public school decision-making. To directly assess the degree of this phenomenon, 30 public school districts were selected from Pennsylvania (excluding Philadelphia and Pittsburgh), based on a random sample, for a citizen attitude measurement questionnaire that yielded 320 viable responses. These data establish desire for greater public participation in school decisions and support for the recommendations of the National Committee for Citizens in Education (NCCE). They further establish a relationship between (1) the citizens' desire for participation, (2) their preference for decentralized decision-making structures, and (3) their preference for delegate, as opposed to trustee, representation style of school board members.
