Abstract	This contribution is another partial outcome of a three-year-project aimed at the recognition of the culture of Czech schools and its development strategies. The data we herewith interpret have been obtained through a questionnaire survey focusing on key areas of school operation (consent in main principles of school operation; creation and attainment of the idea of what the school is aspiring to--school vision; openness of the school towards its outer environment; stimulating milieu to learning and teaching; school management). We have questioned the head-teachers how such areas of school operation should have worked and how they in fact did. In the framework of this, we have explored the head-teachers' comments about the contents of such categories. Also, we have asked them to name the agents expected to be liable for the operation of such areas. We have previously identified some principal areas of school operation, explored the importance of such areas from the head-teachers' viewpoints, and studied how successful the schools are in those areas (as judged by their head-teachers, again). Based on the head-teachers' evidence of the main groups of school life agents, we have described the culture of Czech schools as an educational culture with more or less significant accents on the culture of the adults. The contribution shows, however, that the head-teachers' opinions vary abundantly. This is why we analyse their comments on the priorities of their managing jobs in order to define four types of head-teachers, exploring the conformity or diversity in their attitudes to the question of whom rests today's Czech school culture on?
