| Abstract | This literature review examines the functional tasks of the school district central office and the internal dynamics of relations between the central office and district schools (with their principals, teachers, and students). It builds on previous reviews of the role of school boards and superintendents. The review begins by analyzing studies of the central office more or less chronologically (since the late 1970s). Next, it examines the more recent studies by type of study, and then it proceeds to a more functional analysis of the roles of the central office with respect to improving instruction and student achievement, focusing on: decision-making about curriculum and instruction; supporting good instructional practice (high reliability recruitment of principals and teachers, professional development for principals, professional development for teachers, physical capital/material resources, and linkages between professional development and achievement); and linking evaluation research to district policymaking. The review concludes by outlining the kinds of research that still need to occur to further understanding of how the district, and in particular, central office activity, influences student achievement.
