• In Japan, consolidations of schools and districts have been increasing year by year because of declining birth rates and financial difficulties coupled with recession. The study of educational administration seems to be challenged by this situation. In this session we discussed the potentials and problems of consolidations of schools and districts through clarifying fundamental points of the issue and analyzing some practices in each local area. First, the focus of our discussion was on the relationship between financial situation and educational administration in local areas in Japan. It should be considered how the inter-governmental relations affect educational administration and school management and how we can organize the number and the location of schools in the near future. Second, we discussed about the management of the process of school consolidation. In the past, there were many conflicts with closing schools. One of our speakers said that the less concerned we are about the transparency and the accountability of the consolidation process, the more troubles we have. The study of educational administration has to deal with the sensitive relationship between politics and management of education. Third, it was argued that consolidations of schools and districts had to be linked with the development of education and school organization. The question here is whether each local agency of education or office of board of education has enough capacity to plan the big picture all over the education of the area after school consolidation. Finally, Japanese researchers have hesitated to discuss issues on the consolidation of schools directly and actively for a long time. But many people working at schools and local educational agencies expect us to address these issues. We have the responsibility to provide them better answers by innovating the study of educational administration.
