"The book's primary objective is to examine the disruptions in education experienced by schools, school systems, and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its other objectives are to illustrate the complexities of decision-making; understand how education leaders balance information, political issues, and public opinion; and underscore the dynamics of educational leaders. Zepeda (Univ. of Georgia) and Lanoue, an educational consultant, meet these objectives by offering narratives of school administrators in urban, rural, and suburban school systems. "- S.
