District-level supervisors perform critical functions for enhancing teaching and learning systemwide. This case study found that district supervisors divided their time among the district, district departments, and the school. At all three levels, central office administrators were engaged in two focal activities: resource management and problem solving. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

In the early summer of 1973, insurers representing about 65 percent of the Florida private passenger automobile insurance market cooperated ill supplying incurred accident-year experience for 1971 and 1972 to provide a basis for measuring probable first-year cost results in Florida under no-fault. Insurers differed, and sometimes substantially, in their reported results. But a summary of all submissions indicates a probable increase in insurer costs at the 15-month development. This is in marked contrast with the Massachusetts experience reported a year ago in the Journal and casts doubt on the present ability of no-fault system designers to balance threshold and benefit accounts without actual market experimentation.
