The annual fall conference, sponsored by the Pennsylvania School Study Council, will address the role of instructional leaders in today's public school systems and delegating authority on educational issues.

By answering this question, he said, it will be easier to define who should be the followers in education. Ted Elsberg, acting president of the American Federation of School Administrators, will speak at the conference about his opposition to schools run by committees of teachers.
