Council of the Great City Schools
Definition
- The Council of the Great City Schools originated as a result of educators having concerns regarding the lack of an existing national organization that directly focuses attention on or solves the problems of large urban school systems. The council derived its beginning from the Research Council for the Great City Schools Improvement in 1956 at a meeting in Chicago of the superintendents of the 10 largest school districts in the United States.
