Background/Context Mayoral control of large city school districts has become the newest form of school district reorganization. Researchers have documented how real and perceived crises have propelled mayors in Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington DC, amongst others, to redefine the role of board governance by situating the operations of districts within mayoral governance portfolios. There is little research examining the role of suburban mayors in suburban school district secession movements. Demographic changes as well as tensions around funding and programs have prompted splits in suburban school districts within metropolitan regions that warrant study. Purpose This article examines the educational, demographic, and political dynamics that fueled the contest between suburban city mayors and school district leadership leading to the secession and fragmentation of the largest suburban school district in Utah. The authors sought to understand how this mayoral led secession activity interfaced with mayoral control activities in big cities. We also aimed to identify the parallels and departures that existed in the sources of tension in this case of suburban school district division and historic patterns of suburban political fragmentation, particularly, suburban cities’ creation of autonomous jurisdictions separating them legally and institutionally from urban school districts as a means of assuring clear racial divisions. Population/Participants The research participants included four mayors, two assistant mayors, four school district transition team members, six teachers as well as two school district administrators. Six focus groups comprised of four to six parents also participated. Research Design This study employed qualitative research methods as well as descriptive statistical data analysis. The researchers interviewed mayors as well as parent and community focus groups. Newspaper media pertaining to the events were collected and analyzed as triangulating data. The researchers also analyzed census data using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software. Findings/Results The authors found that rapid demographic and financial shifts in school districts shared by multiple suburban cities can catalyze mayors to organize and act aggressively to split existing school districts. Strong city mayors were a key force propelling the modification of district governance structures through heightening the prominence of city borders and local control, even when the threats were neighboring middle-class cities composed of white residents. Mayors moved the region's political and educational dynamics one step closer to a mayoral control governance structure. The political, demographic, and economic relationships underlying these scenarios positioned suburban school district administration with few options in which to respond. Conclusions/Recommendations The authors conclude that these practices of division and appropriation by cities and their leadership will only diminish democratic processes of school governance and exacerbate social-class and racial segregation across suburban school districts over time. The authors recommend that regionally based governance bodies be formed that help maintain a regional perspective to educational policy.

In industrial areas or densely populated settlements, generally found channels that function besides to drain rainwater as well as to discharge domestic wastewater or dirty water from households. Drainage systems are often the main problem in the occurrence of flooding. It is necessary to analyze how their performance and resistance to flooding in the District of Gandusari, Trenggalek Regency. For analysis of drainage system planning in flood prevention efforts, the authors used the Van-Breun and Mononobe calculation methods to determine the number of incoming water discharge, the ideal dimension of the channel to accommodate the inlet discharge channel, and calculate the cost budget plan (RAB) of the builder. From the analysis, results obtained a cumulative discharge of rainwater, and dirty water entering the drainage amounted to 0.4695 m3 / sec. From the calculation, the ideal dimensions of the drainage can be obtained to be able to accommodate rainwater runoff and dirty water discharge using square channels, where the 1.5 m channel height is all added to the water level of 0.2 m and 0.7 m in width 500 m. While the budget plan for the construction costs is Rp. 794,048,000.00 -Di daerah industri atau pemukiman padat penduduk umumnya ditemukan saluran yang berfungsi selain untuk mengalirkan air hujan juga sekaligus untuk pembuangan air limbah domestik ataupun air kotor dari rumah tangga. System drainase sering menjadi pokok masalah dalam terjadinya banjir, maka perlu di Analisa bagaimana kinerjanya dan ketahanan terhadap banjir di Kecamatan Gandusari Kabupaten Trenggalek. Untuk analisis perencanaan sistem drainase dalam upaya penanggulangan banjir penulis menggunakan metode perhitungan Van-Breun dan Mononobe untuk mengetahui angka debit air yang masuk, dimensi ideal saluran untuk menampung saluran debit air masuk dan menghitung rencana anggaran biaya (RAB) pembangunanya. Dari hasil analisa didapatkan debit komulatif air hujan dan air kotor yang masuk ke drainase sebesar 0.4695 m3/detik. Dari perhitungan didapatkan dimensi saluran drainase yang ideal agar mampu menampung limpasan air hujan dan debit air kotor dengan menggunakan saluran berbentuk persegi, dimana tinggi saluran 1,5 m semuanya ditambahkan dengan tinggi jagaan air sebesar 0,2 m dan lebar 0,7 m dengan panjang 500 m. Sedangkan rencana Anggaran Biaya pembangunannya sebesar Rp. 794.048.000,00,-
