Case study approach using real data

Case Study: A Partnership At Risk

Description The Golden Gloves Agency was founded by a professional boxer. Its single-minded

mission is to “ save lost boys through sports and the manly arts.”

On this point they will not budge. The founder is adamant. The funds to support the

efforts are his to control.

The small city district served by programs from this agency are after school at the

Junior High level to serve some troubled boys. The program was hugely successful. The

statistics show higher attendance, grades and test score for the participants when

compared to matched non-participants.

The Problem The parent of a female student sued for admission to this school sponsored after school

program. The district’s legal council stated clearly and correctly that any school

sponsored activity meant to improve student performance must be open to boys and girls.

The boxer who founded the agency is clear that that is absolutely not acceptable to him.

He, truly, never will change his mind.

He would rather shut it down then change his focus. Repeated efforts to find parallel

experiences for girls has utterly failed.

QUESTIONS)Can this program be saved? Why? Why not?

)What should the principal’s role be?

)When do you cut your losses and abandon a partnership?

)Is this problem a school problem?

)If it goes south, how would you handle the school PR?
