The purpose of this study is to examine the contemporary significance and validity of the "Principle of Independence" of the Board of Education through a case analysis of "Community Center Administration" in Nakano City, Tokyo. On September 21st, 1998 the Central Council of Education emphasized the importance of co-operation between the Board of Education and general public administration. This is noteworthy because of the possibility that it could create inconsistency with the "Principle of Independence" from that of general public administration, which has been one of the key-concepts of educational administration at the local level in order to keep political neutrality. Nakano City has been the object of studies on "Junkousen" (quasi-official election) system for some time now. However, there are not many studies focused on process after the abrogation of "Junkousen" though it may show meaningful features in considering participation of local residents in educational administration. This paper consists of three sections. To begin with, the paper summarizes the discussion concerning the election systems of candidates for the members of the Board of Education and points out the change in the focal point of controversy after the "Junkousen" era. The focal point of the controversy in the "Junkousen" era as to residents' participation had been "political neutrality," whereas the discussion of participation after the abrogation tended to be focused on community-bond making for education. The paper, then, describes organizational structures of the local educational administration in Nakano City, focusing on the relation between general public administration and the Board of Education. Nakano City's local educational administration, which is characterized by 15 "Community Centers", can be described as a three-phased system (Headquarter Divisions, Community Centers Division, and local educational organizations). Functions of "Community Center Administration" include the following two aspects: First, this system enables correlation between different administrative divisions and this system in policy implementation and localization of educational policy. Second, this system enables residents and local educational organizations to become familiarized with educational administration. Finally, based on the arguments mentioned above, this paper examines the significance and validity of the "Principle of Independence" of educational administration. The case of Nakano City drives us to the question whether the independence of the Board of Education as an independent administrative board holds as much importance as before in today's situation in which the expansion of educational functions to the local society has increased in importance.
