Decentralization has been instituted as a reform effort aimed at accomplishing devolution in the Australian state of Victoria. This study documents this reform and investigates its implications for the principal-ship in Victorian schools. Interview data are presented to document implementation problems and the effects of these reforms on the influence of principals and the future of the principalship in Victoria.
