School districts must apply and qualify for such aid and the programmes are usually monitored by the state education department for the federal government. PSG - C 26 Robert Ε. Jennings aimed at making better provision in poor areas, probably account for 900 thousand members on some 58 thousand councils. Possibly another 75 thousand people serve on councils mandated by state law or local byelaw. The remaining 25 to 200 thousand are scattered in school districts which have set up councils on an optional or ad hoc basis (Davies, 1978).
At the same time, it was made explicit that administrators preferred advisory participation to community control of schools (Talmage and Ornstein, 1976). The latter point may provide some impetus for the administrator to make the council a viable body. The administrators' three gatekeeping functions, mentioned earlier, information monopoly, issue control and manipulation of alternatives, are combined in some cases with the ultimate weapon, the power of veto. All of these keep the council dependent on the administrator in almost any activity it takes up.

But different parts of the movement have perceived power redistribution differently.
