History
School study and development councils, as a formal movement, were started at several universities in the Northeast between 1945-1950. In the early years, councils were usually administered by part-time executive secretaries or part-time directors. Most often the executive secretary or director was a faculty member from the sponsoring institution of higher education who served at the discretion of the council and/or its governing board. This is still the prevalent pattern today, although some councils employ full-time directors.
Over the years, these executive secretaries and directors initiated informal meetings which were held just prior to the American Association of School Administrators annual conventions. In 1968, the directors decided to explore incorporation and the development of some formal structure for their organization. As a result, in 1969, the National School Development Council was chartered as a nonprofit corporation in the state of Massachusetts.
